Harvey Weinstein

Former casino mogul Steve Wynn has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and harassment. Still, politicians have continued to accept major campaign contributions from Wynn, who has denied wrongdoing.

Jurors in Manhattan spared the 67-year-old former producer the harshest penalty he might have faced but convicted him of two out of five counts. He faces the possibility of years in prison.

It isn't clear how many of Weinstein's accusers will agree to the deal. He still faces a criminal trial in New York next month on charges of sexually assaulting two women.

A Northwest author is hoping the movie rights to his recent nonfiction bestseller shift away from The Weinstein Company. The Hollywood studio's upcoming bankruptcy court auction may offer an opening.
