After 10 days, a jury has found Harvey Weinstein guilty of rape, forced oral copulation and a third sexual misconduct.

WaPo reports. 

This was the former Hollywood producer’s second criminal trial; he is currently serving a 23-year sentence in New York state prison, though he was granted an appeal earlier this year. The convictions were related to one victim. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on three other counts, and Weinstein was acquitted of a sexual battery allegation made by another woman....

That testimony bout Weinstein’s testis was full of holes.

There’s ground for appeals all over the place.

So are perjury/false witness charges going to be brought against the obvious liars and gold diggers?

There were some women who clearly lied during this trial.

It seems to me that we are creating a society where we are encouraging women to lie in accusations and in court.

This will not work out well in the long run for anyone.

and a third sexual misconduct

He forced the victim put her ear to his scrotum to see if she could hear the ocean.

It is almost as if they sabotaged the trial on purpose.

Oh bullshit. The woman said he forced her to suck on his balls. Where did she say that they were in a scrotum?

He sounds like a scumbag, but this idea of just now trying someone for an allegation of a crime back in 2013 is not good.

Can someone tell me what happened regarding Jane Doe #2? In the cases of Jane Doe #3 and Jane Doe #4 (aka Mrs. Gavin Newsom), the jury indicated that they were engaged in “transactional sex,” i.e., they were engaged in consensual sec in hood of landing acting jobs. The jury found that only Jane Doe #1 was actually raped.

Ann, Ann. Weinstein is so 2020.

It’s great to go after people you don’t like by honoring the unsupported testimony of vindictive gold-digging shrews about something that might have happened a decade ago.

I hold no brief for dirtbags but the process here stinks.

Not arguing the outcome, nor Harvey's forced sex-for-'maybe' work, just wondering:
If the sex indeed brought value, how is this exchange not prostitution?
