Harvey Weinstein Convicted on 2 of 5 Counts

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was convicted of third-degree rape and first-degree commission of a criminal sexual act by a Manhattan jury Monday. He was acquitted of two counts of predatory sexual assault and one count of first-degree rape. Many throughout the media spectrum framed the news as a win for the #MeToo movement, but some, especially on the right, framed the verdict as too lenient and said the acquittal on three counts was a loss for the government.
