Overview

  • A majority-female Manhattan jury found Harvey Weinstein guilty of a first-degree criminal sexual act dating back to 2006.
  • Jurors acquitted him on a separate 2006 sexual act charge after split votes.
  • Deliberations remain underway on a 2013 rape allegation brought by former assistant Jessica Mann.
  • Heated exchanges and threats among jurors prompted Judge Curtis Farber to pause deliberations and order them to reconvene Thursday.
  • Weinstein, who denies all allegations, faces a significant test for the #MeToo movement as the outcome could influence future sexual assault prosecutions.
