Thus, Weinstein was found guilty of two of the five counts. However, he managed to avoid life imprisonment.

In late May, The Wall Street Journal wrote that Weinstein had offered $ 44 million to women and creditors accusing him of sexual harassment.

In October 2017, the New York Times published investigative data from which it became known that Weinstein had behaved inappropriately for decades, in particular with regard to actresses whom he promised to help with a career in Hollywood.

In May 2018, Weinstein was arrested and charged with rape.
