Harvey Weinstein, one of Hollywood's most powerful film producers, is facing up to 25 years in prison having been convicted of sexual assault by a New York jury a few hours ago.

The 67 year old was convicted of sexually assaulting a former production assistant, and raping an aspiring actress. The jury acquitted Weinstein on two counts of predatory sexual assault, the most serious charges he faced, which carried a potential life sentence, and first degree rape.

The prosecutor's case was that the movie mogul used his power to keep his victims silent.
