Harvey Weinstein: police in New York and London investigating allegations
UK Guardian ^ | October 12, 2017 | James Lartey and Kevin Rawlinson

Posted on 10/12/2017 8:54:39 AM PDT by C19fan

Police on both sides of the Atlantic have confirmed they are investigating Harvey Weinstein as the scandal surrounding the disgraced producer deepens.

In London, the Metropolitan police are assessing a sexual abuse allegation made against him, while in his hometown of New York police are carrying out a “review” looking for new complaints against him.

Scotland Yard told the Guardian on Thursday: “The Met has been passed an allegation of sexual abuse by Merseyside police on Wednesday 11 October. The allegation will be assessed by officers from the child abuse and sexual offences command.” There is no indication the complaint relates to child abuse.

Sounds like Weinstein might need to flee to Russia. I am assuming countries in the EU have extradition.

Where did Roman Polanski go?

Limbaugh had a great point about this yesterday. Where are the Republicans and conservatives out taking advantage of the Weinstein situation to make some political capital?

You know damn well if Weinstein had been a big Republican, the left would be bashing the GOP over the head with this on every channel.

If Harv runs.
Matt Laerer could do a “Where in the World is Weinstein” bit.

Polanski was never charged with a crime in Europe.

I’m thinking that just maybe the Weiner ‘laptop’ and Weinstein have something in common besides Huma...

How much information was on the Weiner laptop with Hillary, Huma and ‘others’ that are not mentioned yet???

You can bet it’s out there, just a matter of time before we all see it...

Russia isn’t in favor of western perverts. That’s the entire basis of the new cold war.

By the way, they were fast to jump on a Hollywood casting couch/rapist. Any word on investigating pizzagate? Hillarys bribery and changing State Dept policy for cash? On altering and illegally hiding classified documents? On deleting 33,000 emails under subpoena?
On Comey’s crimes? Any prosecution of any antifa groups?

Maybe Kate Winslet told her story to Scotland Yard. Maybe some of the Left wants to bring down pedo powerbrokers, too.

Hey..... maybe this IS what that strangely-named forecasted Big Ugly was/is all about. Good catch.

If that’s true, then the NYPD doesn’t have far to look. They were the ones who did the leg work on Weiners laptop.

not sure how reliable this source is.
This story has been passed to around to other non MSM sites.
This story has not been carried by MSM as far as I could find.

Hey—why is everybody mad at this guy?

He has apologized for his 17,291 “mistakes”. :-)

I don’t feel bad for any of them. Any one of them standing up giving an awards speech could have spilled the beans. And smart phones and recorders have been around.
He could have easily been exposed.

I'm going to take a chance here and take a bit of a different view. Yes, absolutely this guy was an ugly, awful creep who took advantage of women. However, why didn't any of them report him to the police immediately after the fact? I suspect the bottom line is that there were many of them who were happy to go along with his demands in order to advance their careers, leading him to think his behavior was really no big deal and he'd win in the long run if he just persisted. There is a story out of the UK about a young woman he “forced” to perform oral sex on him. The woman also said that she didn't want to “fight him.” Why the hell not? I've been around long enough to remember the days when this type of aggressive behavior was not uncommon, and there were lots of men who got punched or slapped for their efforts. I doubt if Weinstein would have reacted violently in return—he would have too much to lose.

Thanks; but think on a broader scale if that’s possible. Not only broad sided Weinstein, but the mighty nfl take down, fake news cry, and the countless other bombs being dropped ALA London Blitz. The BIG UGLY is more than thought possible :)
