  • DEGREE RAPE AND CRIMINAL SEXUAL

  • ACTS BUT ACQUITTED HIM OF THREE

  • OTHER COUNTS INCLUDING THE MOST

  • SERIOUS, PREDATORY SEXUAL

  • HE SHOWED LITTLE EMOTION WHEN

  • STUNNED WHEN HE WAS LED OUT OF

  • THE COURTROOM IN HANDCUFFS.

  • HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE THE

  • WALKER HE'S BEEN USING SINCE

  • IT WAS WHEELED OUT OF THE

  • COURTROOM AFTER HE WAS TAKEN

  • AWAY.

  • ALICE GAINER HAS BEEN

  • COVERING THE TRIAL SINCE THE

  • BEGINNING AND WAS IN THE

  • COURTROOM AS WELL WHEN THE

  • VERDICT WAS READ.

  • THE PACKED COURTROOM WAS

  • MOSTLY SILENT AS THE VERDICT

  • WAS READ.

  • 15 COURT OFFICERS LINED THE

  • PERIMETER WITH THREE OF THEM

  • SURROUNDING WEINSTEIN SO IT WAS

  • HARD TO SEE HIS EXACT REACTION

  • AT THAT MOMENT.

  • NOW, AFTER THE VERDICT WAS

  • READ, IT REMAINED SILENT AS THE

  • WORDS WERE DIGESTED BY ALL.

  • HARVEY WEINSTEIN NOW A

  • CONVICTED RAPIST.

  • IF HARVEY WEINSTEIN WAS NERVOUS

  • ABOUT A VERDICT TODAY, HE

  • DIDN'T SHOW IT THIS MORNING.

  • MR. WEINSTEIN, DID YOU GET

  • ANY SLEEP THIS WEEKEND?

  • Reporter: ABOUT TWO HOURS

  • LATER, HE WOULD BE PUT INTO

  • HANDCUFFS, CARTED OFF TO RIKERS

  • ISLAND.

  • WE THE JURY HAVE REACHED A

  • OF RAPE IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

  • BUT HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF

  • CRIMINAL SEXUAL ACT IN THE

  • FIRST DEGREE AND RAPE IN THE

  • THIRD DEGREE.

  • HE DIDN'T CRY, HE DIDN'T

  • BREAK DOWN.

  • HE WASN'T SOBBING.

  • HE WAS MORE IN A STATE OF

  • DISBELIEF.

  • HE SAID -- AND HE KEPT

  • REPEATING BUT I'M INNOCENT.

  • WEINSTEIN IS A VICIOUS

  • SERIAL SEXUAL PREDATOR WHO USED

  • HIS POWER TO THREATEN, RAPE,

  • ASSAULT, TRICK, HUMILIATE AND

  • SILENCE HIS VICTIMS.

  • WOMEN WERE BELIEVED.

  • Reporter: GLORIA ALLRED

  • REPRESENTS TWO OF THE THREE

  • WOMEN THE CHARGES WERE BASED

  • AROUND.

  • THIS IS THE AGE OF

  • EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN AND YOU

  • CANNOT INTIMIDATE THEM ANYMORE.

  • Reporter: THE JURY'S VERDICT

  • SHOWS THAT THEY BELIEVED THE

  • TESTIMONY OF MIMI HALEYI AND

  • JESSICA MANN BUT HAD DOUBTS

  • ABOUT SCIORRA.

  • FORCING A SEX ACT ON MIMI

  • HALEYI IN 2006 AT HIS

  • APARTMENT.

  • HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF ONE OF

  • THE RAPE CHARGES, RAPE IN THE

  • THIRD DEGREE FORE THE ATTACK ON

  • JESSICA MANN IN 2013 AT A

  • MANHATTAN HOTEL BUT NOT GUILTY

  • OF RAPE IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

  • HE WAS ALSO FOUND NOT GUILTY OF

  • TWO COUNTS OF PREDATORY SEXUAL

  • ASSAULT.

  • ANNABELLA SCIORRA ALLEGES

  • WEINSTEIN RAPED HER IN THE

  • EARLY '90s AFTER FORCING HIS

  • WAY INTO HER GRAMERCY PARK

  • APARTMENT.

  • THE STATUTES FOR LIMITATIONS

  • FOR RAPE CHARGE HAD RUN OUT BUT

  • THE D.A.'S OFFICE WAS ABLE TO

  • USE HER ALLEGATION TOGETHER

  • WITH HAILEYI AND MANN'S CRIME

  • TO SHOW A PATTERN.

  • ON FRIDAY THE JURY HINTED THEY

  • MIGHT BE HUNG ON THE PREDATORY

  • SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE SENDING A

  • NOTE READING WE THE JURY

  • REQUEST TO UNDERSTAND IF WE CAN

  • BE HUNG ON ONE AND/OR THREE BUT

  • UNANIMOUS ON THE OTHERS.

  • BUT TODAY THE JURY CAME TO A

  • UNANIMOUS DECISION.

  • I CAN'T LOOK BEHIND THE

  • JURY'S VERDICT OR HOW THEY

  • ARRIVED AT THAT.

  • WE HAVE TO RESPECT THAT

  • PROCESS.

  • BUT BY NO MEANS IS IT A

  • STATEMENT AGAINST MISS SCIORRA

  • OR AGAINST ANYTHING THAT SHE

  • SAID IN COURT.

  • Reporter: MOST JURORS WERE

  • ESCORTED OUT OF THE COURTHOUSE

  • AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

  • WE CAUGHT UP WITH THE FOREMAN

  • WHO SAID HE ISN'T READY TO TALK

  • ABOUT HOW THEY REACHED THIS

  • VERDICT JUST YET.

  • HARVEY WEINSTEIN'S WALKER, A

  • CONTROVERSY ALL ITS OWN, WAS

  • WHEELED OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME

  • WITHOUT THE DISGRACED MOVIE

  • MOGUL BEHIND IT.

  • HIS HANDS WHICH ONCE GRIPPED IT

  • SO FIRMLY FOR SUPPORT NOW

  • CUFFED IN THE FRONT OF HIS

  • BODY.

  • SOON TO BE HOLDING ONTO THE

  • BARS IN FRONT OF HIM.

  • AND WEINSTEIN WILL BE IN THE

  • INFIRMARY AT RIKERS SINCE THE

  • DEFENSE ARGUED HE'S BEEN UNDER

  • THE CARE OF FIVE DOCTORS AND

  • HAD AN UNSUCCESSFUL BACK

  • SURGERY.
