The British Broadcasting Corporation is reporting that Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of sexual assault in a six-week trial in New York.

This is after his first conviction in the state was overturned last year.

A panel of seven female and five male jurors deliberated for five days before unanimously voting to convict the film mogul.

The jury found him not guilty of an additional sexual assault charge, and have yet to return a verdict on a charge of rape.

The conviction is in addition to a 16-year sentence that Weinstein has yet to serve after being convicted of sex crimes in Los Angeles.

On Wednesday, the jury found Weinstein guilty of assaulting Ms Haley, but found him not guilty of assaulting Ms Sokola. They have yet to return a verdict on Ms Mann, and plan to resume deliberations on the rape count on Thursday.

Weinstein was then indicted on new sexual assault charges in the state in September.
