Harvey Weinstein "was convicted of sex offences in a subsequent trial".

 During the two-month trial, it was revealed that Weinstein had enticed women into private meetings with him before abusing them.

When he is convicted, the 70-year-old Oscar winner could spend up to 24 years behind bars.

After being found guilty of rape and sexual assault at his first trial in New York two years ago, he has already completed nearly 23 years in prison.

Monday saw Weinstein's conviction on accusations of rape and two counts of sexual assault against a complainant who will only be identified as Jane Doe 1.

The jury was unable to reach a judgement about the accusations made by Jane Doe 2 and Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom. On those counts, the court declared a mistrial.

He was also cleared of sexual battery against Jane Doe 3, one of his accusers.

The co-founder of the entertainment firm Miramax and producer of Shakespeare in Love and Pulp Fiction appeared pale in a grey suit on Monday at the court in Los Angeles.

As he had done in earlier court appearances, he was not in a wheelchair.

The former Hollywood producer blinked when he heard guilty on count one. He stared at his attorney as the court clerk read guilty on count two. He briefly fixed his gaze on the jury. Over the course of more than four weeks, the trial heard testimony from hundreds of witnesses, many of it heartbreaking.

However, the focus of Monday's verdict was on claims made by four women between 2005 and 2013.

The jury, which consisted of eight men and four women, deliberated for nine days on three accusations of rape and four other counts of sexual assault.

Model Jane Doe 1 was born in Russia and was the victim of rape by Weinstein, who was found guilty of the crime on Monday.

She testified as the first witness in the trial that the producer unexpectedly entered her Beverly Hills hotel room and sexually assaulted her in February 2013, while she was in Los Angeles for an Italian film festival.

"Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night in 2013, and I will never get that back," she remarked following the conviction.

"The criminal trial was horrific, and Weinstein's attorneys tortured me while I was testifying, but I knew I had to see this through, and I did.

In his lifetime, "I pray Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell."

Ms. Siebel Newsom described in her moving statement how Weinstein had raped her in a hotel room in 2005 when she was working as a documentary filmmaker.

"Throughout the trial, Weinstein's lawyers utilized sexism, bigotry, and bullying methods to intimidate, belittle, and ridicule us survivors," the first lady of California said in a statement on Monday following the judgment.

The trial served as a sobering reminder that society as a whole still has work to do.

Lauren Young was the only other one of the four principal accusers to openly identify herself.

When she first approached Weinstein in 2013 to discuss a story, she claimed to be a model, aspiring actor, and screenwriter.

According to Ms. Young, he forced her into a hotel toilet and raped her sexually.

The jury was unable to render a decision regarding the accusations against her.

In 2010, Weinstein imprisoned Jane Doe 3, a massage therapist, and sexually attacked her there, according to testimony from Jane Doe 3. He was exonerated in that assault.

For the #MeToo movement, which had been denouncing pervasive sexual abuse and harassment in the film business for several years, his conviction in New York in 2020 was a watershed event.

Weinstein is currently appealing the judgment from New York.

In recent years, more than 80 women have come forward to accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct and assault.
