Harvey Weinstein found guilty on several sex crime charges

Disgraced movie mogul is found guilty of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault.

LOS ANGELES (KYMA, KECY) - A Los Angeles jury found Harvey Weinstein guilty on several sex crime charges on Monday.

Weinstein was found guilty of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault. He was acquitted of one count of sexual battery.

The verdict comes after nine days of deliberations that followed a nearly 2-month long trial with often graphic testimony from 44 witnesses, including Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom.

The jury of four women and eight men was hung on three other counts against Weinstein.

This is the second trial for Weinstein, nearly three years after he was convicted of sex crimes in New York City as he is serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York.

Weinstein has pleaded not guilty in both trials and denies all allegations of non-consensual sex.
