Rapist Harvey Weinstein is rushed to hospital 'suffering chest pains' in the ambulance that was transferring him from court to Rikers Island - after shouting out 'I'm innocent' as he was convicted

Harvey Weinstein was rushed to hospital by ambulance on Monday, shortly after being found guilty of raping and sexual assaulting two women.

The disgraced Hollywood producer, 67, was said to have been redirected to Bellevue Hospital Center after suffering chest pains. A rep later confirmed he was suffering from high blood pressure and having heart palpitations.

Judge James Burke had initially ordered Weinstein to be taken to Rikers Island prison immediately, until his sentencing on March 11.

Weinstein was convicted by a New York jury of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in his apartment in 2006 and raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in a hotel room in 2013.

He was acquitted of the two most serious counts of predatory sexual assault, which each carried a potential life sentence. He was also found not guilty of first degree rape in relation to Mann.

Weinstein, who arrived at court using a walker for much of the trial, now faces a 29-year prison sentence, sealing his dizzying fall from powerful Hollywood studio boss to archvillain of the #MeToo movement.

When the jury of seven men and five women handed down their verdict after five days of deliberations, Weinstein told his lawyer: 'I'm innocent. I'm innocent. How can this happen in America?'

Absolute power corrupts and corrupts absolutely. That’s Harvey Weinstein to a T.

One of the oldest games in town is to claim chest pain or seizures to try to get out of jail. I can’t count how many times I have seen that gig.

Best was the guy laying on the floor flopping around. Walked in and asked him what was going on. He stops, looks up and says “I’m having a seizure, dumb***.” Then went back to flopping around.

Evil old Harvey, for all his guilt, is still 100% compatible with the Hollywood culture.

Jack Nicholson could pull it off, being used to playing creepy characters.

That look could be the result of 2 hours in the Make Up Chair. “More grey violet around the eye bags, pile it on!”

There was one picture about 40 years ago, when he was just a young mogul.
