Yes he's trying to make himself look harmless and vulnerable.

Yes Evil.


[about the night in the winter of 1993 or 1994 when she claims
that Harvey Weinstein raped her after an industry dinner.]

[Sciorra said that Weinstein pushed his way into
her apartment after dropping her off.
“He kept coming at me and I felt very overpowered because
he was very big,” she said. “He led me into the bedroom
and he shoved me onto the bed.
I can’t tell you exactly when his pants came off
or exactly what happened.
I don’t think his shirt ever got completely off.
… As I was trying to get him off of me — I was punching him,
I was kicking him — and he took my hands and put them over my head,
he put my hands over my head to hold them back
and he got on top of me and he raped me.
He put his penis inside my vagina.
He had intercourse while I was trying to fight but
I couldn’t fight anymore because he had my hands locked.”]



[She continued: “At a certain point, he stopped.
He came out of me and he ejaculated
on top of me, on my nightgown.
He said, ‘I have perfect timing.’ And then he proceeded to
put his mouth on my vagina and before he did that,
he said, ‘This is for you.’
And I didn’t have very much fight left inside
me at this point. I said, ‘No, no.’ But there was not much
I could do at that point. My body shut down.
It was just so disgusting that my body started
to shake in a way that was very unusual.
I didn’t even really know what was happening.
It was like a seizure or something.”]

I do think that accepting a payoff is almost as bad as making a payoff.

Americans baffle me, someone rapes you, you take them to court but you’d rather take their money than see them go to prison? Madness

I feel the same. I'd rather get nothing and see him stringed up by the nads.

It really puts a dent in the "show" put on by the "silence breakers".

[Kizzy]

So annoying, how can this be allowed.. Surely the judge should see it as him effectively buying people off to avoid justice. :/

[bots]

its basically a refinement of feudal justice and it happens in so many countries across the world. In china, if you injure a bread winner, you must pay to support their dependents. It has it's good points, but then you get the "marry your rapist" manifestation where it all goes to poop and what Weinstein is doing is not really dissimilar to that

Charged with 2 Rape Charges

Cleared of the rest.

He will remain in custody.


Live NYC Court

[Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty
of sexual assault and rape at his trial in New York.
But he has been cleared of other charges,
including predatory sexual assault
and rape in the first degree.]

[Twosugars]

Yes March the 11th
we will find out how long his Jail time is.

6 Women took to the stand.

He is off to the NY prison.
until Wednesday March 11th

Convicted of 2 of 5 counts.

[Kizzy]

Well I'm shocked I expected him to get off tbh... 2 rapes is laughable but better than getting away with none due to his money!

Yes on March 11th
they set his Prison time.

[Twosugars]

Weinstein, 67, was found guilty of criminal sex act in the first degree for forcing oral sex on the former Project Runway production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006, a count which carries a minimum prison sentence of five years and a maximum of up to 25 years.

The count of rape also convicted Weinstein of rape in the third degree on another woman. That count carries a sentence of up to four years in prison.

I don't think it's fair to judge them. The system is very much broken when it comes to rape cases most of the time, the victims are put on trial as much as the accused and the rate of conviction is very low. It's a lot of pain to go through just to potentially see your abuser get off scot free.

For victims of rape and abuse, Civil cases and outcomes are the best they can hope for sometimes.

I meaaannn, he was going down anyway, they may as well have pocketed the payoff and let someone else take him down...

Sounds like a Easy Run
