LAPD Investigating Harvey Weinstein After Italian Actress Accuses Him of 2013 Rape
Chicago Tribune ^ | 10/20/2017 | Travis Andrews

Posted on 10/20/2017 9:37:04 AM PDT by drewh

the Los Angeles Police Department robbery homicide division has interviewed a potential sexual assault victim involving Harvey Weinstein, which allegedly occurred in 2013. The case is under investigation at this point."

The alleged victim was an unnamed Italian model-actress who said Weinstein "forcibly raped" her at the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles after the 8th annual Los Angeles, Italia Film, Fashion and Art Fest in February of 2013, according to the Los Angeles Times.

"He ... bullied his way into my hotel room, saying, 'I'm not going to [have sex with] you, I just want to talk,'" the woman told the newspaper. "Once inside, he asked me questions about myself, but soon became very aggressive and demanding and kept asking to see me naked."

Then, she said, "He grabbed me by the hair and forced me to do something I did not want to do. He then dragged me to the bathroom and forcibly raped me."

Afterward, she said, "he acted like nothing happened."

It's going to get worse for Weinstein, because it's possible some of his predatory behavior happened in France during the Cannes Film Festival (Weinstein was a regular there since the early 1980's). And that means the French police could get involved. In short, Weinstein could be under investigation in three different countries.

LOL! Clinton skated on many a similar accusation and his enabler, as we all know, was Hillary, who was hanging onto what she thought was her ticket to power.

I guess Harvey didn’t have a good enough enabler. His wife, btw, is a fashion designer (and possibly a former model) who is quite beautiful. Fortunately, she has left him, and I hope she takes him to the cleaners before he has no assets left to take.

I would ask Trump to pardon Weinstein, if he sings, and tells everything he knows.

“forcibly raped”


Interesting use of words for an “Italian actress.” She has obviously been getting some legal council.

Before we take any more lectures from the liberals on serious policy or culture topics, I demand they stop raping their co-workers.

Weinstein is the 21st century Fatty Arbuckle. All the sins of Hollywood will be laid on his doorstep so the other pervs can skate.

She is wrong, Democrats never rape anyone. If they do, they then get rewarded as good citizen/rapists by a democrat president.

Agree. He’s just one in hundreds of sicko Hollyweird pervs who need to be taken down. The casting couch is not going to be burned until everyone is named.

You could be talking about twenty different rape charges. They will go after his millions in civil court as well. I don’t see him taking this well. Rapist in a French or US jail? You won’t be treated very well.

and worse, in France Harvey could have his films come under review and be banned as an auteur. They could withdraw his Jerry Lewis Congeniality Award.

How do you investigate a rape four years later?

I hope she saved some evidence. If she didn’t, unless there is a witness who is willing to testify, I don’t see how she prevails.

There’s no doubt what a low life this guy is, but people who are accosted this way need to seek medical attention and file charges right away.

He didn’t tell her to “put some ice on it”?
