A Los Angeles jury will continue its deliberations Monday morning in the sexual assault trial of Harvey Weinstein, the former movie producer who is accused of using his Hollywood influence to lure women into private meetings and assault them. Weinstein, 70, is charged with two counts of forcible rape and five counts of sexual assault involving four women; a model, a dancer, a massage therapist and a producer. If the jury finds him guilty, Weinstein could face 60 years to life in prison, plus an additional five years. Four other women testified they faced similar behavior at Weinstein’s hands. Midway through the trial, four of the original 11 charges against Weinstein tied to a fifth Jane Doe were dropped without explanation.
