of three of the seven counts he was facing -- forcible rape, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by a foreign object. All three of those counts related to a woman identified as Jane Doe #1, with the crimes occurring on or about Feb. 18, 2013.
He has remained behind bars following his conviction in New York for raping an aspiring actress and of a criminal sex act against a former production assistant. The state's highest court has since agreed to hear his appeal in that case.
But in his argument, defense attorney Alan Jackson told the jury that the entirety of the prosecution's case could be summed up with five words -- "Take my word for it" -- and said the alleged victims lied on the stand about what was actually "consensual" or "transactional" sex with the now- disgraced filmmaker.
The defense attorney ended his closing argument with an attack on the testimony of Siebel Newsom, which he called a "theatrical, overly dramatized performance" that was a "pretty good act" that had "no basis in truth."
