Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of committing a criminal sexual act in a retrial in New York.
The 73-year-old was found not guilty of another count of committing a criminal sexual act relating to a second woman.
The jury has so far not recorded a verdict in relation to an allegation of rape against a third woman.
Weinstein pleaded not guilty to all three charges and has denied assaulting anyone or having non-consensual sex.
The case was being retried after an appeals court overturned his 2020 conviction last year.
He was accused of raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013 and forcing oral sex on two other women.
Two of the charges were those he faced during the original trial, while the third – one of the charges of forcing oral sex – was added last year.
Nearly eight years ago, a series of sexual misconduct allegations against the Oscar-winning movie producer propelled the #MeToo movement.

Before the retrial, Weinstein was also serving a 16-year prison sentence after being found guilty of rape in California in December 2022. He had also denied this charge.
