Harvey Weinstein, a prominent figure in the #MeToo movement, was convicted on another count of criminal sexual act during a retrial in New York. His conviction follows a prior ruling that was overturned in 2024. The jury reached a mixed verdict, convicting him of one count related to Miriam Haley's detailed testimony about her 2006 assault, while acquitting him on another charge. The testimonies of two additional women supported allegations against Weinstein, though defense attorneys questioned their credibility, portraying them as motivated by potential fame and financial gain. Deliberations continue regarding one remaining charge.
The jury's verdict was split, with Weinstein guilty of one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree, not guilty of another count for the same charge.
Miriam 'Mimi' Haley described her 2006 assault in Weinstein's SoHo apartment, which led to his conviction.
The defense team raised doubts about the women's motivations, describing them as 'conniving' and suggesting they sought fame and money.
The jury will reconvene to decide on the charge of rape in the third degree related to Jessica Mann's testimony.
