LOS ANGELES — More than two weeks after jury deliberations began in Los Angeles, the verdict is in for disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. And so are the reactions.
The former Miramax producer, 70, was found guilty Monday of raping a woman, identified in court as Jane Doe 1. He was convicted of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by a foreign object. Weinstein faces the possibility of 18 or more years in prison. Given his age, health and the current 23-year term he’s serving after his rape conviction in New York, he will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
Reacting to Monday’s verdict, Weinstein accuser and California first partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom said a life term was what the disgraced movie mogul deserved.
