    Cliff Notes – Harvey Weinstein found guilty of sexual assault after bombshell retrial

    • Harvey Weinstein has been convicted of one count of sexual assault against Miriam Haley, following a retrial in Manhattan after his previous conviction was overturned.
    • The jury acquitted him of a second charge related to Kaja Sokola and could not reach a unanimous verdict on a third count involving Jessica Mann.
    • Weinstein faces a maximum sentence of 25 years for the first-degree criminal sexual act, in addition to a 16-year sentence yet to be served in Los Angeles.

    Harvey Weinstein found guilty of sexual assault after bombshell retrial

    Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of one count of sexual assault in New York retrial.

    The Jewish media mogul Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of one charge in his sex crimes retrial, after lengthy proceedings in New York.

    The disgraced film mogul was initially convicted of a criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree, in February 2020.

    However, his 23-year sentence was overturned last year, sparking a three-week retrial in Manhattan.

    After a second round of hearings, the 73-year-old was convicted of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley.

    He was also acquitted of a second charge stemming from sexual assault accusations made by Kaja Sokola, with the jury struggling to reach a unanimous verdict on a third count involving Jessica Mann.

    According to the Guardian, Judge Curtis Farber encouraged them to continue deliberating in the hopes they can find a verdict.

    Deadline reports that each count of first-degree criminal sexual act carries a maximum sentence of 25 years.

    Weinstein’s previous conviction for sex crimes in New York was overturned last April by the Court of Appeal, after it was ruled that he didn’t receive a fair trial in 2020.

    In September, he was then indicted on new sexual assault charges – but has denied all accusations against him.

    Earlier today, Weinstein addressed Judge Farber to plead for a mistrial, but was quickly denied.

    Weinstein was initially convicted in 2020 but won an appeal last year

    ‘This is my life that’s on the line, this is not fair,’ the former movie producer said. ‘I’m not getting a fair trial.’

    Although the sentencing hearing has not yet taken place, the conviction will be in addition to a 16-year sentence he is yet to serve in LA.

    Weinstein has been at the center of rape or sexual misconduct allegations from more than 100 people, with some claims dating back to the 1970s.

    The allegations sparked the Me Too movement, which highlighted sexual violence in the film industry, as well as worldwide.

    Weinstein previously begged the judge to call a mistrial 

    He has been behind bars for the last few years, and filed a lawsuit against Rikers Island at the end of 2024, calling out the conditions and services at the prison facility after suffering a number of health problems.

    In documents obtained by Deadline, his legal team confirmed they were seeking ‘no less than $5,000,000’, and demanding ‘monetary damages arising from negligence, carelessness, recklessness, gross negligence, medical malpractice, intentional and/or reckless and/or negligent deprivation of medical treatment, deprivation of civil and constitutional rights, and negligent and intentional torts’ that he claimed have been ‘committed by officers, agents, and employees of the New York City Department of Correction’.

    They also named New York City Health & Hospitals Corporation, Rikers Island Correctional Facility, and New York City Health & Hospitals Corporation/Bellevue.’
