Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of sexual assault in a New York court on Monday.

Journalist Ronan Farrow shared a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on Weinstein's sexual misconduct that contributed to the launch of the #MeToo movement.

In Farrow's 2019 book, "Catch and Kill," he detailed his reporting process and uncovered new details about the tangled web protecting Weinstein along the way.

Several Hollywood celebrities are among the people Farrow says knew and even worked to cover up allegations against Weinstein.

Disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein was found guilty on Monday, February 24 of a felony sex crime and rape after a weeks-long trial an five days of jury deliberations. Weinstein, who had been accused by dozens of women of sexual abuse, was convicted on one count of third-degree rape and one count criminal sexual act in the first degree.

Before the trial started, reporter Ronan Farrow published his book "Catch and Kill," which details his reporting process in investigating Weinstein's treatment of women.

Farrow did eventually publish a damning amount of evidence against Weinstein in The New Yorker, shortly after the Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor published other allegations against the Hollywood producer. The three shared a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting.

As Farrow first began to interview Weinstein's accusers, he said he soon found himself tangled up in a web of powerful, wealthy men across industries working to protect each other — sometimes with the help of powerful women, too.

Here are some of the main celebrity players in "Catch and Kill" who Farrow alleges knew about the allegations against Weinstein before members of the press were able to print the story and launch the #MeToo movement into the mainstream.
