last month, he faced two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of rape in the first degree, one count of rape in the third degree and one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree.Miriam Haley, a former production assistant whom Weinstein offered work, testified during the trial that he invited her to his apartment in 2006. She said he pushed her onto a bed, removed her tampon over her protests and forcibly performed oral sex on her.
Jessica Mann testified that she met Weinstein nearly seven years later, at a party in Los Angeles. Mann, who was an aspiring actress at the time, said he forcibly performed oral sex on her, too — though because that alleged act happened in LA, it wasn't included in the New York charges. Four other women offered their own stories on the witness stand, testifying to what prosecutors described as a familiar pattern of behavior: initial offers of work to a young actress or model, followed by an encounter alone under false pretenses — then a forced sexual act and weeks of harassment and intimidation afterward."I thought he was a nice person.
"They came to be heard," Illuzzi said."They sacrificed their dignity, their privacy and their peace for the prospect that their voices would be enough for justice."Although the producer did not personally take the stand at the trial, he has said that all of these encounters were consensual. And throughout the trial,often pointed to what they called friendly correspondence between the women and Weinstein after the alleged incidents.
CoalitionResist He’ll do ninety days in some white collar detention center.
You NPR went after fake scandals on the President using heresay to do yellow journalism. But you let this rapist practically go free with no reporting worth anything! You let Epstein go the same way. You hypcrisy goes before you!
when will you 'news' people go after the Epstein Pedo Isle clients? You know,like Bill & Hillary Clinton?
lookner My heart goes out to the women who have to live with the memory of what he did to them while he gets off from the charges. At least he didn't get off from all of them!
Why is NPR trying to downplay it?
Rape is a serious charge. When a Democrat like Harvey Weinstein is convicted of it...media downgrades rape to a lesser offense. Democrat privilege is real.
Hey NPR..he was convicted of rape.unbelievable
Lookit NPR downplaying rape... 🙄🙄🙄
The only crime worse than rape is murder.
His friends will be happy he avoided the most serious charges
Who can forget his good friends the MichelleObama BarackObama
5 - 25 years means that HarveyWeinstein has been found guilty of a SERIOUS sexual assault charge, . We know you love him, but try to be journalists for once. HarveyWeinsteinGuilty MeToo
When is rape not a serious charge MeToo
Trump will pardon him soon or later !!!! Just wait
Rape isn’t serious? Sick stuff NPR
He was found guilty of rape. That's not a serious charge?
so rape isn’t a serious charge?
This should be a lesson to all woman if a man rape or sexual harass you if you are not woman enough to kill him REPORT HIM DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT to do it to other woman
He better go to jail
Rape is pretty serious
'I want to warn listeners' My coworkers find it funny.
Disgusting man deserves LIFE IN PRISON!!!
rosariodawson Probably should have had more convictions but this is a good start.
CPRNews How about the 20 plus women who have accused Trump of sexual crimes? Will we ever hear more from them? The 'Me Too' movement needs to make some noise.
imsweetleaf Sounds pretty serious to me… I guess the original charges were actually horrific, if rape is not one of the “more serious“ charges
The system is rigged
How many accusers does Trump have?
Don't worry, Trump will pardon Harvey Weinstein next.
Thank GOD President Trump is allowed to do this without being indicted.
And then he moves to face charges in California.
does anyone there proof their tweets? your statement implies RAPE in NOT a SERIOUS CRIME
Now we need justice for the 26 women who accuse Donald Trump of “unwanted sexual contact” & 43 instances of inappropriate behaviour, including the rape of Ivana Trump, E Jean Carroll & attempted rape of Jill Harth. Nobody is above the law!
Harvey Weinstein had intersex genitalia and lacked testicles according to Jessica Mann's testimony. I did not know that.
No worries. Trump will prob pardon him and give him some cushy job in the White House.
Time to unseal all the indictments
What was the charge that was more serious then rape ?
'Will likely spend time is prison' Likely is not enough
One count of rape isn't serious? You can't be serious.
Was there anything about his use of the Israeli intelligence firm 'Black Cube' to intimidate victims at their homes and suppress news articles from being published? What about every other sleazeball in Hollywood? Your silence on the bigger picture means condonation.
Ugly human
Now we get to watch a bunch of people who have no idea about the Weinstein case (his trial in particular) come out and render unwarranted statements about him. Process is usually more important than outcome. Reading headlines doesn't make you an expert.
AllResistNews Now they need to do trump!
Hillary’s big donor and close friend
lookner This despicable predatory monster rapist still faces charges in LA, right? Can’t believe so many powerful people tried to shut victims up & ignored his crimes bc they wanted fame. Hope Weinstein gets the max. Rapist ThanksRonan
It's nice to be white
Likely? He better do time.
lookner the others need to press charges now!!
lookner Not likely — he WILL. Mandatory minimum of 5 years. Five to 25. He was cuffed and taken into custody. Bail revoked. harveyweinsteintrial harveyweinstein guilty
It’s a good startt in a tough system that protects predators, not the preyed upon.
I regret I have but one like to like this
Something is better than nothing but why does his conviction leave the possibility of jail time as 'possible' or just 'likely'? Conviction for this number and kinds of crime usually guarantee a prison term. Oh, I forgot, he still can use that wealth and privilege loophole.
Future Presidential Medal of Freedom winner right here!
you mean to say other serious charges against him
And gets the white and corruption fee.
lookner Ugh, disgusting man
Not enough time
lookner (((THEY))) always get special treatment.
Thank you RonanFarrow
