Harvey Weinstein was proclaimed guilty Monday of executing a criminal sex act in the first degree affecting one woman and rape in the third degree involving another woman.
Supporters of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements declared the decision marks a "new era of justice."
The women's testimonies accentuated questions around approval and power dynamics at the center of the #MeToo movement -- questions that have rarely, if ever, been examined in a courtroom.
Once a distinguished producer of movies such as "Shakespeare in Love" and "Pulp Fiction," Weinstein was denounced by several women of a wide range of sexual malfeasance.
