Washington, D.C. - RAINN released the following statement after the jury in a Los Angeles court delivered a mixed verdict for former Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein. Jurors found him guilty of raping one woman but either found him not guilty or could not decide on other charges.

“While many will reflect on how this verdict is another significant chapter in Harvey Weinstein’s history as a sexual predator tonight, RAINN is reflecting on the significance of how many women are coming forward to tell their stories about Harvey Weinstein. Tonight we celebrate their courage and strength. RAINN is here — 24 hours, 7 days a week — to offer confidential support to anyone seeking it.” — Scott Berkowitz, president, RAINN.

RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Hotline offers free, confidential, 24/7 support at 800.656.HOPE (4673) and online.RAINN.org.
