Tom Sizemore, the rough-and-tumble character actor who helped liberate Europe in Saving Private Ryan, was found guilty Friday of battering and harassing ex-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss.

Sizemore was convicted of seven of the 16 counts facing him. Jurors in Los Angeles, returning the verdict after three days of deliberations, found him guilty of one count each of domestic violence, criminal threats and vandalism, as well as four counts of making obscene and harassing phone calls, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office said.

Sizemore, 41, faces up to four years in jail, plus fines. Sentencing is scheduled for October 2. He remains free on $100,000 bail.

The actor was cleared of a charge of intimidating a witness, and additional counts of domestic violence, criminal threats and harassing phone calls.

"Today's verdict sends a strong message that neither socioeconomic status nor perceived celebrity will shield domestic abusers from the law," L.A. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said in a statement.

Outside the courtroom, Sizemore, who did not take the stand in his defense, told reporters he looked forward to putting "this behind me now and [doing] what I've always loved doing, making movies."

The most damning testimony against him came from his reputed punching bag.

An often-tearful Fleiss, the notorious ex-Hollywood Madam, told jurors Sizemore socked her, choked her, dragged her by the hair, smashed her collection of figurines with a baseball bat and left more than 100 bullying messages on her answering machine.

She denied defense intimations that she was making up stories in order to get at Sizemore's movie-star money. She said she didn't intend to pursue a civil lawsuit against the actor once the trial concluded.

Fleiss testified that she loved the Natural Born Killers cop, and only went to authorities after he allegedly threatened her brother.

"I couldn't take it anymore," Fless said, per City News Service. "You can act real strong, like it doesn't bother you, but it does bother you. It bothers you a whole lot--especially when you're good to that person, and you loved him."

"I'm not some dog that can be kicked up and down the street."

Fleiss said their relationship, once on track for marriage, derailed when she learned he was cheating on her with prostitutes.

Prosecutors sought to back up Fleiss' claims with pictures of her injuries, and testimony from the likes of her sister's boyfriend, Markie Arnold, who said Fleiss showed up at his house one night with a bloody towel on her head--the result of being shoved onto the sidewalk by Sizemore, Fleiss told him.

John Enos, a daytime soap actor on CBS' The Young and the Restless who once dated Fleiss, also took the stand. He said a beer-toting Sizemore showed up at his house one night in May 2002.

"He was insisting that [Fleiss] was in the house," Enos said, according to CNS.

Two days later, Enos said, he did see Fleiss--with a bruise of her jaw and a cut on her head.

A detective with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department recounted a response to a 911 call placed from Sizemore's West Hollywood home in 1997. Mark Gayman said a woman he referred to as the actor's wife, "Anne" or "Annie," per CNS, was found crying and displaying "redness around her neck and chest area." He described Sizemore as seeming "very angry" and "intoxicated."

Sizemore was arrested in 1997 on suspicion of felony spousal abuse, but then-wife, actress Maeve Quinlan, declined to press charges.

In May, he was arrested in connection with the Fleiss case. He's also in hot water for a separate misdemeanor domestic-abuse allegation levied at him by a woman he claims he doesn't know.

Despite his legal troubles, Sizemore has not wanted for work. He starred last fall on the short-lived CBS series Robbery Homicide Division. Per IMDb.com, he has at least four movies in the can or on the way to theaters.
