But most of all gratitude, to the six accusers who were brave enough to testify — and the jurors who believed them. “For once he won’t be sitting comfortably,” said actress Rose McGowan, one of Weinstein's earliest accusers. A number of accusers said the day's biggest triumph was that women were finally being believed in their claims of sexual assault. "I spoke for myself and with the strength of the 80 plus victims of Harvey Weinstein in my heart,” she said in a statement.

(AP Photo/Mark Lennihan)NEW YORK, N.Y. – As Harvey Weinstein goes through his New York trial on rape and sexual assault charges, here's a look at the movie mogul's past and his multiple legal fights. A COLLAPSING CAREER:Following the deluge of allegations, Weinstein became a film industry pariah. Women globally began using the hashtag #MeToo to share their own stories of sexual assault. Los Angeles prosecutors allege he raped a woman at her Los Angeles hotel, then sexually assaulted a woman in his Beverly Hills hotel suite the next day.

Julie B. Porter, an attorney for McGowan, refuted that her client sought $6 million from Weinstein, stating that Weinstein offered McGowan $1 million not to publish her memoir. McGowan, 46, is one of more than 80 women to come forward with allegations against Weinstein ranging from sexual violence and harassment to rape. McGowan claims in her suit that Weinstein offered her $1 million to not go public with her rape allegation and to drop the publication of her book. The complaint also alleges that Weinstein enlisted attorney Jose Baez as part of his alleged smear campaign against her. McGowan's suit concludes that she "has suffered tremendously from Defendants' conspiracy and lies."
