For Rape And Sexual Abuse. Harvey Weinstein arrived at the courthouse in Manhattan for a hearing .

The jury convicted the disgraced Hollywood mogul of rape and sexual abuse after six women testified that he sexually assaulted them.(Daily Mail.com)

The charges, including two counts of predatory sexual assault, could have led to his spending the rest of his life in prison but jurors, after hearing weeks of arguments and deliberating another five days, acquitted him of the most serious charges (BBC.com).

Those allegations, which with the release of a pair of exposés in October 2017, landed him in court earlier this year to face his first criminal trial.

On october 10 Actress Asia Argento and a former aspiring actress named Lucia Stoller say Weinstein forced himself on them sexually.

A third woman withholds her name from the article, the result of a 10-month investigation by the magazine.

Argento says the incident happened in 1997 in the south of France while Stoller, who now goes under the name Evans, says she was forced into a sexual act by the producer after going for a casting meeting in 2004.(BBC.com)
