Harvey Weinstein was back in a Los Angeles court again on Monday, facing seven sexual assault charges — including rape. Jurors, who deliberated for 41 hours over the span of 10 days following weeks of testimony by survivors, found the disgraced movie mogul guilty of three of those seven charges, all of which he had pleaded not guilty to. Weinstein now faces up to 24 years in prison for this particular conviction alone.
The three charges include rape, sexual penetration by foreign object, and forcible oral copulation, and were all tied to one of Weinstein’s accusers, a model and actress who testified he had assaulted her in a Beverly Hills hotel room in February 2013. The four charges that did not lead to a conviction included two separate counts of sexual battery by restraint, one count of forcible oral copulation, and one count of rape.
