Jailed ex-Hollywood kingpin faces a new 24-year sentence for raping an Italian woman in Los Angeles in 2013.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Disgraced Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of rape and two counts of sexual assault against an Italian actress and model \u2013 known as Jane Doe 1 \u2013 by a jury in Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n

After a month-long trial and nine days of deliberations, three counts on Monday mark the second conviction of the onetime Hollywood kingmaker who became the notorious face of the #MeToo movement in the United States after a litany of sexual abuse emerged five years ago. The jury on Monday also acquitted the 70-year-old or could not reach a verdict in the cases of the three other accusers.<\/p>\n

Weinstein is already serving a 23-year prison after being convicted of sex crimes by a court in New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night in 2013 and I will never get that back,\u201d Jane Doe 1 said in a statement issued shortly after Monday’s verdict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe criminal trial was brutal and Weinstein’s lawyers put me through hell on the witness stand, but I knew I had to see this through to the end, and I did. I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell during his lifetime, \u201dshe said.<\/p>\n

Weinstein faces up to 18 years in prison on the counts for which he was convicted, but aggravating factors could increase that to 24 years.<\/p>\n

Lawyers will return to court on Tuesday to deliver arguments related to aggravating factors.<\/p>\n
