Harvey Weinstein go to sleep in prison tonight. The fallen producer was found guilty of first-degree sexual assault and third-degree rape by a Manhattan jury on Monday. However, he was acquitted of the most serious charge (“predatory” sexual behavior) which was punishable by life. Harvey Weinstein faces 25 years in prison and will be sentenced on March 11. Meanwhile, the judge ordered his detention.
The jury of seven men and five women delivered their verdict after five days of deliberations and one month of an emblematic, high-profile trial of the #MeToo movement.
Over the past week, jurors have asked for several testimonies to be re-read, mainly from Mimi Haleyi and Jessica Mann.
