A Los Angeles jury found former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein guilty of raping a woman.
The two-month trial heard how Weinstein used his influence to lure women into private meetings before assaulting them.
The 70-year-old Oscar winner faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted.
He is already serving 23 years in prison after being convicted of rape and sexual assault at his first trial in New York two years ago.
Weinstein was found guilty on Monday of two counts of rape and sexual assault involving an accuser, known only as Jane Doe 1 so that her name cannot be disclosed.
The jury could not reach a verdict on the charges against Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, and the woman known as Jane Doe 2.
He was also acquitted of sexual battery against the suspect known as Jane Doe 3.
The producer of Shakespeare in Love and Pulp Fiction and co-founder of entertainment company Miramax wore a gray suit and looked pale in a Los Angeles courtroom on Monday.
He was not using a wheelchair as he did at a previous court appearance.
The former Hollywood producer looked down as he pleaded guilty to count one. Then the court clerk read guilty on count two and he looked at his lawyer. At once he looked at the jury.
The trial took place over four weeks of emotional testimony from dozens of witnesses.
But Monday’s ruling focused on four women’s allegations that date back to 2005-13.
A jury of eight men and four women spent nine days deliberating on three counts of rape and four other counts of sexual assault.
The woman Weinstein was convicted of raping on Monday, Jane Doe 1, was a Russian-born model.
The first witness in the trial, she testified that she was in Los Angeles for an Italian film festival in February 2013 when the producer walked into her Beverly Hills hotel room uninvited and sexually assaulted her.
She said after the verdict: “Harvey Weinstein destroyed a part of me forever that night in 2013 and I will never get it back.
“The criminal trial was brutal and Weinstein’s lawyers put me through hell on the witness stand, but I knew I had to see it through to the end, and I did.
“I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell in his lifetime.”
Ms. Sybil Newsom gave emotional testimony that she was a documentary filmmaker when Weinstein raped her in a hotel room in 2005.
