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?'

"Who will play Harvey in the movie?"

Robert De Niro would be a good pick. He's obnoxious and verbally abusive in real life. He wouldn't even have to actually act.

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

I just checked his filmography. He hasn't done anything since 2010.

The one guaranteed ambulance ride in corrections was always “chest pains”. And the convicts knew it too. The single most abused complaint in the population. But one we just could not ignore. Harvey’s only delaying his trip to Ossining.

Yep.

I have no sympathy for the willing "victims" but hang him for the true rapes.
