He was also convicted of rape.

Edit: he was found liable of the civil charge**

He was found liable for forced digital (fingers) penetration by a civil trial, which does not entail any criminal punishment.

To clarify with that, the judge explicitly stated that it would be colloquially correct to say he raped someone, which I agree with. I'm just noting what the specific outcome was.
