Famous American film producer Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of raping a woman during a trial in a Los Angeles court.

The two-month trial heard details such as how Weinstein used his influence to lure women into “business meetings” before sexually abusing the women. Weinstein’s sentence has yet to be announced, but he is expected to face up to 24 years in prison.

An unknown witness in the case, a former model and actress known as “Jane Doe 1”, testified that Weinstein raped her in 2013 in a Los Angeles hotel.

The victim, who issued a statement after the verdict, said: “Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night in 2013 and I will never get it back. The criminal case was brutal, and Weinstein’s lawyers gave me hell as a witness. but I knew I had to go through with it. “I knew it and took it. I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell in his life.”
