HARVEY Weinstein, the fallen titan of Hollywood whose sexual abuse of aspiring young female actors sparked the #<\/span>MeToo<\/span><\/span><\/a> movement, has finally been brought to justice after a New York jury found him guilty of two of the five charges he faced.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The jury of seven men and five women at the New York supreme court took five days to reach their verdict. They found the defendant guilty of a criminal sex act in the first degree for forcing oral sex on the former Project Runway production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006.
The count carries a minimum prison sentence of five years and a maximum of up to 25 years.<\/p>\n

The jury also convicted Weinstein of rape in the third degree. This relates to him raping a woman the Guardian is not naming, as her wishes for identification are not clear, in a New York hotel in 2013. This count carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison and no minimum, though it requires Weinstein to register as a sex offender.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weinstein was acquitted of three further charges, including the two most serious counts of predatory sexual assault which carried a possible life sentence and an alternative count of rape in the first degree.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the verdict Weinstein was handcuffed and remanded into custody ahead of sentencing on 11 March. His lawyers requested that he be kept in a jail infirmary while awaiting sentencing.<\/p>\n
