The OP has nothing to do with Weinstein. Perhaps you were mistaken about what you were replying to?
In any case:
(a) Harvey Weinstein was convicted of three counts, including rape.
(b) A lack of a conviction absolutely does not mean that the allegation didn't happen. It isn't an either-or that the jury decides between. The only thing they decide is whether it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Viewing it otherwise is dangerous, because it leads people to decide criminal cases based on which version they think is more likely, effectively transforming the criminal justice system to use a "preponderance of the evidence" standard.
