Former movie producer Harvey Weinstein has been convicted of sexual assault and rape by a New York jury.
A judge ordered Weinstein to go to jail immediately and court officers handcuffed him and led him out of the courtroom. More than 80 women, including famous actors, had accused him of sexual misconduct stretching back decades.During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Weinstein as a serial predator who had manipulated women with promises to open doors in Hollywood, coaxing them to hotel rooms or private apartments and then overpowering and violently attacking them.
During the many weeks of trial, the prosecution methodically elicited graphic testimony from several accusers, including Haleyi, who said Weinstein invited her to his SoHo home after she had worked on one of his television productions. Sopranos actor Annabella Sciorra, told jurors Weinstein came into her apartment one winter night in 1993 or 1994 and raped her.
