In her closing arguments, Weinstein's lead attorney Donna Rotunno urges the 12 jurors to make themselves "unpopular" by acquitting him, insisting he had been innocent from the start.

18 February 2020

With all the evidence heard, the jury begins deliberations. Judge James Burke reminds them that to convict, they must be sure of the defendant's guilt beyond all reasonable doubt and must reach unanimous verdicts on each count. If they cannot, the judge may be forced to declare a mistrial.

The 67-year-old is convicted of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping ex-actress Jessica Mann in 2013.

He is acquitted of first-degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault, charges that could have seen him jailed for life.

Though cleared of the most serious charges made against him, the producer still faces up to 25 years in prison on the sexual assault conviction.

Judge James Burke orders Weinstein to be held in custody and schedules a sentencing hearing for 11 March.

11 March 2020

Weinstein is sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault.

The 67-year-old appeared in court on Wednesday in a wheelchair.

His lawyers had appealed for leniency, saying even the minimum sentence of five years could be a "life sentence" but prosecutors argued Weinstein should be given the maximum possible sentence, given his "lifetime of abuse" towards women and "lack of remorse" for his actions.

29 May 2020

Weinstein is accused of sexual assault by four further women as he serves a 23-year prison sentence.

Court documents filed in New York on Thursday allege several sexual offences dating from 1984 to 2013.

One of the four anonymous women was 17 at the time of an alleged attack.

Weinstein's legal representative told BBC News: "Mr Weinstein intends to defend against the claims filed anonymously against him yesterday."
