Europe EditionFormer movie mogul Harvey Weinstein convicted of sex crime in New York retrial
- Harvey Weinstein appeared in a Manhattan state court on Wednesday, where a jury convicted him on a single sex crimes count during his retrial.

- Weinstein, 73, faced three charges related to assaults in 2002, 2006, and 2013, with the jury acquitting him on the 2002 charge and deadlocked on the 2013 rape charge.
- Prosecutors argued Weinstein used his power to abuse women, telling jurors the evidence showed he 'trapped and abused women,' while Weinstein denied all non-consensual acts.
- The guilty verdict represents a partial legal victory after the initial conviction was overturned, with deliberations ongoing and potential prison time up to 25 years if found guilty on remaining charges.
