How can the man get a fair sentence in the glare of #metoo and media hysteria?
Convicted largely on decades old allegations and by women who continued to screw him and send sweet texts even after they said he raped them
One who claims he cunnilingus raped her...granted shes a gorgeous woman but really?
Its just weird
A generation ago any judge would have said ladies you should have gone to the police in a timely manner and stopped screwing him after the alleged rape ...case dismissed
Its not like these women were hostages in the home
I do think Sciorra was credible but she is an actress...a good one too
Actors ..... like lawyers....LIE FOR A LIVING. Nuff said.
Yep agreed, I’ve seen nothing that according to law should have convicted him. Looks like 100% voluntary, career-motivated activity on the part of the women.
I was scared to say so, but this was a #metoo railroad job.
Weinstein getting the same treatment as Roy Moore. He said, she said.
This is dangerous. While we may be putting more bad people in jail, we are also putting a lot of innocent people who didn't know how to play the system in jail as well.
3 Felonies a Day comes to mind.
should be a statute of limitations and lamentations
Harvey Weinstein was given a fair trial and convicted of rape by a jury of his peers who had access to all the evidence, not just the parts that were released to the public by his buddies in the lamestream media. If he believes he was wrongly convicted he has the right to appeal just like any other US citizen.
Good enough for a jury, good enough for me. Harvey Weinstein is guilty as sin. Surely FReepers can find worthier causes to advocate for men’s rights than this sad sack of feces.
I believe in the essential justice of our legal system. The alternative, vigilante justice, is even worse for men accused of rape.
As far as I’m concerned, you can either go and accuse him of sexual harassment, or you can take the job he’s offering you in exchange for the sex.
You can’t do both.
