Harvey Weinstein was convicted of a criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree in New York on Monday, two of the five counts the disgraced film producer was being prosecuted for. The jury found Weinstein guilty of forcing a sex act on one woman and raping another, but the results were something of a mixed-bag, because Weinstein was acquitted on charges of predatory sexual assault. But holding Weinstein fully accountable for his actions was never on the table: he has dozens of accusers, many of whom will never be able to bring criminal charges because of statutes of limitations; and making him face any penalty at all for his actions is a win. On social media, Weinstein’s accusers breathed a sigh of relief, celebrated his conviction, and looked to the future. Here’s what they had to say:

Thank you-imperfect but we have been brave. We’re not a movement. We were once lone Souls crying out into the Cyber skies, Me Too, me too, he hurt #MeToo Then we found & supported each other & just look what alittle support achieved today #SilenceBreakers #MeToo = #TimesUp ✨ https://t.co/QyzQWvugh3

Gratitude to the brave women who’ve testified and to the jury for seeing through the dirty tactics of the defense .we will change the laws in the future so that rape victims are heard and not discredited and so that it’s easier for people to report their rapes

“A jury convicted #HarveyWeinstein, beyond a reasonable doubt, of rape. The jury did not rely on physical evidence. They jury relied on the compelling, heartbreaking testimony of the victims; finally our voices, our truth, as victims and survivors, were enough.” @VOICESIN_ACTION pic.twitter.com/SgL5GhS88b

These six women are not only silence-breakers but actual ground-breakers.

Their bravery has changed the course of the world.

Let us never forget their faces. Never stop being grateful. https://t.co/iMcZrE4Fhp

🤔Perhaps the mighty dollar wasn't the 'get out of jail' card he thought it was? https://t.co/sx1krQuRkc

For decades Harvey Weinstein used his power and position to harass, assault and rape women. Now a verdict, from a jury of seven men and five women have held him partially accountable. Harvey Weinstein is a convicted sex offender.

It's a mark of progess, but there is still a long way to go, with sentencing, appeals & a Los Angeles trial. Sadly it took more than one hundred women to come forward in order for there to be any consequences to his actions and still, he and his defense team call us all liars.

— Daryl Hannah (@dhlovelife) February 24, 2020

Today I feel a sense of deep love and appreciation for the women who testified and an immense amount of gratitude to our allies Ronan Farrow, Jodi Kantor, Megan Twohey who took huge risks to bring these stories to light. ☮️

Harvey’s having the night he deserves.

For the women who testified in this case, and walked through traumatic hell, you did a public service to girls and women everywhere, thank you.#ConvictWeinstein #Guilty

The jury came back. Harvey Weinstein is found guilty. He is. He did this.

Harvey Weinstein found guilty. 👏

— Myleene Klass (@KlassMyleene) February 24, 2020

He's guilty. We, the survivors & #silencebreakers, did this together. We told the truth and (partial) justice will be served. To all the abusers, rape myth perpetuators, victim blamers, and those who have retaliated against us: this one's for you. #Guilty #Weinstein #metoo

While we all had hoped for full justice to be served, today was a small step forward for the #MeToo Movement & the millions of survivors of sexual assault who have bravely used their voices to create a better world.

My heart is with all survivors ❤️https://t.co/kMIK1QPBMe

Relieved + grateful for today’s verdict in the #harveyweinsteintrial.
It shows that victim shaming/blaming will no longer work as a defense. We saw it during the Cosby trial + now we see Harvey in jail for 2 felonies🙌🏾He will forever be remembered as a PREDATOR RAPIST#MeToo

The beginning of #justice. More to come, my sisters. #weinsteinguilty
