NYC Jury Convicts Harvey Weinstein on Sex Crime Charge, Again, as Further Deliberations Continue

HeadlineJun 12, 2025

A Manhattan jury on Wednesday convicted disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, after Weinstein was retried following the overturning of his 2020 conviction. The jury, however, acquitted Weinstein on another charge and failed to reach a decision on a third charge of third-degree rape, which jurors are continuing to deliberate on today. One of the three plaintiffs in the retrial, Miriam Haley, spoke after the jury concluded — again — Weinstein had forcibly performed oral sex on her in 2006.

Miriam Haley: “To survivors of sexual assault: You matter. Your story matters. Your voice matters. And you are not alone. Thank you.”

Harvey Weinstein has also been convicted of sex crimes in California and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
