Welcome to Tuesday, February 25th, chickens and eggs...

Harvey Weinstein has been convicted of rape, two years after accusations against the Hollywood mogul helped ignite the #MeToo movement.

Weinstein was found guilty of committing a criminal sex act in the first degree involving one woman and rape in the third degree involving another woman.

Though Weinstein was found not guilty of the most serious charge - predatory sexual assault - he still faces another trial in Los Angeles.

"Rape is rape ... whether it's committed by an indigent person or a man of immense power, prestige, and privilege," said Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.

Weinstein's lawyers said they will appeal the jury's finding.
