The jury hung on several counts, notably charges involving Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to the Associated Press. 

The jury reported it was unable to reach verdicts in her allegations and the allegations of another woman. A mistrial was declared on those counts. He was also acquitted of a sexual battery allegation made by another woman.

Siebel Newsom shared a statement with Fox News Digital at the time, "Harvey Weinstein will never be able to rape another woman. He will spend the rest of his life behind bars where he belongs. Harvey Weinstein is a serial predator and what he did was rape. Throughout the trial, Weinstein’s lawyers used sexism, misogyny, and bullying tactics to intimidate, demean, and ridicule us survivors. This trial was a stark reminder that we as a society have work to do. To all survivors out there – I see you, I hear you, and I stand with you."

Newsom said he was "incredibly proud" of his wife and "all the brave women who came forward to share their truth and uplift countless survivors who cannot."

He added, "Their strength, courage and conviction is a powerful example and inspiration to all of us. We must keep fighting to ensure that survivors are supported and that their voices are heard."

At the time of the verdict, Weinstein's representative, Juda Engelmayer, said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital, "Harvey is obviously disappointed in the verdict. He knows what happened and what never did. However, the accounts of Jane Doe 1 have a strong likelihood of an appeal with positive results, as the logistics of the time and location of the alleged incident make no sense. Harvey is grateful for the jury's work on the other counts, and he's determined to continue his legal challenges."

Jurors reached the verdict after more than 40 hours and nine days of deliberations following a month-long trial in L.A. Weinstein faced two counts of forcible rape and five counts of sexual assault involving four women. 

Weinstein had pleaded not guilty and has said he did not engage in non-consensual sex. The 70-year-old disgraced movie mogul is already serving a 23-year sentence for a rape conviction in New York.

Weinstein was extradited to California in July 2021 to face 11 sexual assault counts made by four women in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills between 2004 and 2013.

Weinstein also faces charges in London stemming from two offenses in 1996.

Unlike many other countries, Britain does not have a statute of limitations for rape or sexual assault.

Following his rape conviction, British police said they were investigating multiple sexual assault claims against Weinstein that reportedly took place between the 1980s and 2015.
