A jury has delivered a split verdict in the retrial of Harvey Weinstein, convicting him of one sexual assault charge but acquitting him of another. The former Hollywood producer still awaits a decision on a third charge of rape.

This latest development in Weinstein’s case comes after a tumultuous journey that began nearly a decade ago when he became the focal point of the global #MeToo movement. The retrial, which started in April, was ordered after New York’s highest court overturned his 2020 conviction on sex crimes, citing procedural errors.

Throughout the retrial, Weinstein’s defense team argued that the reported instances of sexual abuse were consensual, echoing their defense strategy from the initial trial. However, the proceedings took a chaotic turn as the jury became divided, with jurors reportedly arguing and shouting at each other.

The jury ultimately found Weinstein guilty of sexually assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006 but acquitted him of forcing oral sex on actress Kaja Sokola the same year. While Haley expressed gratitude for the verdict, Sokola shared her relief that Weinstein would be held accountable for some of his crimes.

The jury is still deliberating on a rape charge involving actress Jessica Mann in 2013. Mann, in a statement, asserted the truth of her allegations against Weinstein and the personal cost of coming forward.

Weinstein, who attended the hearings in a wheelchair due to health issues, did not testify during the retrial. His legal team and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office have not commented on the verdict.

In a separate case in California, Weinstein was convicted of sex crimes in 2022 and sentenced to 16 years in prison, with his lawyers currently appealing that conviction. The original 2020 conviction in New York was a significant moment in the #MeToo movement, sparking a global reckoning for powerful men accused of sexual misconduct.

The impact of Weinstein’s case continues to reverberate, underscoring the ongoing efforts to hold individuals accountable for abuses of power and to support survivors of sexual assault.
