Harvey Weinstein has been slapped with sex crime charges in Los Angeles, The Post has learned.

LA prosecutors are planning a news conference to announce the charges at 2 p.m. New York time Monday, according to three sources briefed on the matter.

The blockbuster move comes just one day before jury selection is set to start in Weinstein’s highly anticipated rape and sex abuse trial in New York.

I think that picture is extremely revealing. Oprah looks like a devil worshipper offering a sacrifice to the devil, Weinstein looks like the devil but with a compassionate expression on his face, and the young actress looks scared to death.

i think it was about power over the women. He cannot possibly think he’s an attractive person.

After all the hubbub about the Golden Globes, I watched older GG rituals with the comic who made such waves this year. Before wineberg was busted, Kate Blanchett was sitting next to him, all chummy and..

I always wondered how she became such a star.

Now if they would only charge the pedos that have been raping and molesting children for decades...

Who is the frightened bleached blonde?

The young woman is British singer Rita Ora and she was 23 years old in the photograph with Oprah and Weinstein according to a 2014 Daily Mail UK article.

A scapegoat. In the old days millenia ago, all the sins of the tribe would be heaped upon the goat and it would be driven away to it’s death.

Weinstein is sleezy and skeezy, but the way hollywood has turned on him is nothing but hollywood virtue signaling and absolving itself of blame for decades of casting couch moguls, and starlet whores who begrudgingly put out in exchange for a part.

In that sense, he is a scapegoat. We will see no new prosecutions after his. We will be told the “problem” is over.

I almost feel bad for Weinstein - and I stress ALMOST. As bad as the crimes he’s being accused of are, they pale in comparison to some of the crimes committed by the Hollywood and Washington elites that have yet to be revealed. Some of the crimes that Schiff, for example, has been rumored to have committed make Weinstein’s crimes look tame. If some of you are unaware of the rumors about Schiff, do a little searching. Keywords - Standard Hotel. Yes, they’re just rumors but they ring true IMO.

I totally agree with your scapegoat characterization. The Hollywood and Washington establishment would love this to be the end of it so they can condemn Weinstein publicly while continuing to do much worse.

“I always wondered how she became such a star.”

I suspect the same way many of them did. I honestly don’t know the details of what Weinstein is actually accused of, and don’t care enough to find out, but I think it’s rape. I can’t help but wonder if the accusers just didn’t get what they thought they were going to get out of the deal.

Sweetheart, just do what Uncle Harvey tells you to do, and he’ll make you a star!

I don't even "wonder." Those people aren't naive. The whole "casting couch" phenomenon is universal knowledge. Much more so for aspiring actresses. Heck, it's just female nature to use sex for gain.

My guess is, Harvey is not Ron. Women think they are being cheated.

And the specimen must have killed itself for shame, thereby going extinct. Otherwise, we’d be in plea-bargain territory.

Sure. They’ll do the same job for less. And there are some things that Americans simply will not do, usually involving animals, chains, leather, and whipped cream.
