BREAKING: A Los Angeles jury found Harvey Weinstein guilty of rape on Monday, the second such conviction following his 2020 conviction of raping and assaulting other women.
The verdict comes a little more than five years after The New York Times and The New Yorker reported on Weinstein’s long history of sexual assaults, detailing how a web of lawyers, spies and human resource officers threatened victims and enabled Weinstein to continue preying on women, many of whom feared their careers would be ruined if they spoke out.
The Weinstein verdict comes after the Nov. 30 mistrial in a rape case against actor Danny Masterson , whose trial was in the same criminal courts building as Weinstein’s. The Masterson jury said it deadlocked over charges Masterson raped three women at his Hollywood Hills home about 20 years ago.Weinstein did not testify during the trial. His defense attorneys said the encounters were “consensual” and that the women exchanged sex for career advancement.
Weinstein’s lawyers also noted that several of the victims, including Newsom, reached out to and met with Weinstein after the alleged assaults, proof that the sex was consensual.In her closing arguments, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Marlene Martinez said, “There is no question that Harvey Weinstein was a predator. For this predator, hotels were his trap. Confined within those walls, victims were not able to run from his hulking mass. People were not able to hear their screams.
