Jurors in New York have found the former movie producer Harvey Weinstein guilty of sexual assault and third degree rape.

But he's been cleared of three other more serious charges including predatory sexual assault and first degree rape.

The former Hollywood producer attacked a production assistant at his apartment in 2006.

He then went on to target another woman in 2013.

But he was acquitted on the most serious charges, which could have sent him to prison for life.

New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance Junior says Weinstein's convictions mark 'a new day'.

The women who came forward courageously and at great risk made this happen.

He says Harvey Weinstein has finally been held accountable for the crimes he committed.
