Jurors at the Los Angeles rape and sexual misconduct trial of Harvey Weinstein have been deliberating for a week without reaching a verdict.

The jury of eight men and four women went home Friday afternoon and will return to resume deliberations on Monday morning.

They must decide on two counts of rape and five other sexual assault counts against the 70-year-old former movie magnate.

The jurors have had no questions for the court that might provide insight into the status of their work.

They got the case at the end of closing arguments on Dec. 2. They have been deliberating for 5 1/2 days, or about 24 hours total.

The only issue raised, and the only time the attorneys have returned to the courtroom in a week, came Friday morning when one of the five alternate jurors asked if he could be excused because of travel plans. Weinstein’s lawyers objected, and the judge rejected the request.

Weinstein still has more than 20 years left on his sentence in New York after a rape and sexual assault conviction there that is under appeal.

In California, he could get 60 years to life in prison if he’s convicted on all counts involving all four women he’s charged with assaulting.

All four testified during the trial, along with four other accusers who testified for prosecutors attempting to show a propensity for such acts by Weinstein.

Prosecutors urged jurors to end the “reign of terror” of a man they called a “degenerate rapist.”

Weinstein’s lawyers argued that two of the women’s accusations are entirely fabricated and two others reframed consensual sexual encounters as assault years later, after the #MeToo movement made Weinstein a target.

He has pleaded not guilty and denied engaging in any non-consensual sex.

Harvey Weinstein rape trial: Jury goes a week with no verdict

A 'Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights' dancer, who was a body double in Harvey Weinstein-produced 2004 film, took the stand on Thursday and claimed that the Hollywood mogul masturbated on her face and body while his assistant waited outside a hotel room.

Sobbing and crying during Weinstein’s Los Angeles sexual assault trial, the dancer, referred to as Ashley M in the court, gave a harrowing account of her 2003 hotel encounter with Weinstein in Puerto Rico.

While testifying against the disgraced Hollywood producer, she shared that he picked her out of the cast of dancers filming in Puerto Rico in 2003 and demanded that she give him a "naked massage".

Ashley,&nbsp;who is not a charged victim in the case, said she was 22 years old when the incident happened and it left a lasting effect on her.

She said Weinstein approached her when she was about to film a ballroom scene with other dancers. He took her outside for a private conversation and said he had done things like the naked massage with Gwyneth Paltrow and it would be good for her career.

Calling Weinstein 'very aggressive', the woman shared that he was waiting for her outside the set, along with his assistant, Bonnie Hung, after the shoot. He told her to get into the car and that he just wanted to talk about something.

Ashley then shared that even though she felt scared, she got in the limo with Weinstein because she was reassured by Hung that she would be with her. After the short 10 to 15-minute ride, the limo stopped at a hotel where the three took a room. "I went in and he went in and …. And then Bonnie shut the door behind us," she said.

Sharing what happened in the hotel room, she testified, "I had no idea what to do, I was scared."

"Harvey began to get aggressive and he eventually like shoved me on the bed,"&nbsp;she testified. "He was just saying a bunch of stuff and he shoved me and he ended up taking off my top and my clothes, my bra."

She shared that Weinstein told her, "It’s not like we’re having sex, it’s just naked cuddling."

Ashley shared that she told him to stop but he didn't. "I just remember in my head thinking what do I do? Should I make a run for it, but I knew that he was just really big and I knew Bonnie was most likely out there so I didn’t know what to do," she testified.

Describe herself as "hysterical", she said she was crying as this was going on.

She testified that Weinstein began to straddle her and&nbsp;then he started&nbsp;masturbating after taking his own clothes off. "He just said 'it’s OK, it’s not like we’re having sex'. And then he ejaculated on me, on my breasts and some on my face," she said.

"I was just really thankful that I wasn’t raped. I remember thinking and I remember wiping off just getting dressed really fast and leaving really fast."
