A “vicious, serial sexual predator who used his power to threaten, rape, assault, humiliate and silence his victims”. Those were the words of Manhattan’s district attorney as Harvey Weinstein was taken into custody.

He’s been found guilty of two counts of rape and sexual assault, and now faces up to 25 years in jail.

The jury did, however, acquit him of the most serious charges of predatory sexual assault. But tonight’s verdict has been hailed as “a new era of justice” by campaigners.
