Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault in a mixed decision Monday.

He was found guilty of all counts of rape and sexual assault pertaining to Jane Doe 1, but the jury acquitted him of sexual battery against Jane Doe 3 and was hung on the three other counts against him from Jane Doe 2 and Jen Newsom.

The jury came to its decision after about 10 days of deliberation, with both sides resting their case on Dec. 2.

The Los Angeles trial focuses on four women who have accused the former movie producer of similar assaults, including testimony from filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who is married to Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA).

β€œRapists rape. You can look at the pattern,” prosecutor Paul Thompson told jurors in closing arguments. β€œYou have irrefutable, overwhelming evidence about the nature of this man and what he did to these women.”
