Prominent members of the #MeToo movement are speaking out about the court ruling overturning Harvey Weinstein's New York rape conviction. Some worry it could deter future sex assault victims from coming forward. And Weinstein’s lawyer says he will be able to testify in a retrial that he never forced women in sexual encounters.
FLE - A group of women who have spoken out about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct and who refer to themselves as the “Silence Breakers,” face the media during a news conference at Los Angeles City Hall, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020, in Los Angeles. New York ’s highest court on Thursday, April 25, 2024, has overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction and ordered a new trial.
“A jury was told in California that he was convicted in another state for rape ... Turns out he shouldn’t have been convicted, and it wasn’t a fair conviction. … It interfered with his presumption of innocence in a significant way in California.” — Weinstein lawyer Jennifer Bonjean, who is appealing his Los Angeles rape conviction.“Today’s decision does not erase the truth of what happened. It doesn’t alter the reality that Weinstein is a serial sexual abuser who exploited his power for decades.
