Yeah he did.
Almost impossible to not know that unless one covers their ears and eyes when passing a TV all the time :)
Although i know we have the “they all wanted it to further their careers!!” crowd here :)
Some scary thinking there.

Only rarely look at the telly. Never take in entertainment news (the Brit papers seem to be all about celebrity “news”.)

I might be in that crowd if you mean someone made a casting couch deal where they did the horizontal pretzel to get a promised benefit. I’d consider that a business deal - though not an altogether moral one - but it’s part of the “Oldest profession”, after all.
Sleazy, but I’m not sure how it can be “rape” if a person makes it into a business deal. There’s no doubt the guy is creepy and disgusting, but if they started sentencing people to prison for that the jails would be jam-packed with people serving time for just being icky human beings.
The jury appears to have gotten the verdicts about right, there were cases where this pig actually assaulted an unwilling victim. It appears that many of his most vocal accusers are actually charging him with meretricious practices, in which they were willing, if resentful, beneficiaries. These were the cases where the jury refused to convict.
