Harvey Weinstein, once one of the most powerful men in Hollywood whose many sex crimes helped ignite the #metoo movement, was convicted of 3 of 7 charges in his second sex crimes trial, this time in Los Angeles. The jury was unable to reach a verdict was on 3 of the charges. The 70-year-old is already serving a 23-year prison sentence for rape and sexual assault in New York.

Weinstein was charged with seven counts of raping and sexually assaulting four women from 2004 to 2013: a model, a dancer, a massage therapist and a producer. He was originally charged with four more charges, but those were dismissed when prosecutors said they were "unable to proceed" on the allegations made by a woman identified as Jane Doe 5.
