Los Angeles | Harvey Weinstein, once a film colossus who wielded immense power in Hollywood, was found guilty on Monday (Tuesday AEDT) of raping and sexually assaulting an actress in 2013, but jurors found him not guilty of one charge and could not decide on three other counts.
The verdict, delivered by jurors in Los Angeles, was the second sex crimes conviction for Weinstein, 70, who was found guilty nearly three years ago of sexual assault and rape in New York.
