New York | Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape and a criminal sexual act more than two years after allegations against the Hollywood power broker sparked the #MeToo movement but was acquitted of charges that could have resulted in a life sentence.

As it is, Weinstein, 67, could spend years in prison, a remarkable fall for a man once celebrated and feared in the film industry. While he was found guilty of rape in the third degree, the former movie mogul was acquitted of the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault, and a count of rape in the first degree.
