testimony that Weinstein raped her in the '90s was used to bolster two predatory sexual assault charges against him in combination with the testimonies of Mann and Haley.
Prosecutors had also called three other women — Dawn Dunning, Tarale Wulff, and Lauren Marie Young — to testify that they were sexually assaulted Weinstein in order to establish aThe key question facing the jurors was whether to believe the women, who prosecutors almost entirely relied on to show that Weinstein was a “seasoned” sexual predator with a pattern of using his power to manipulate women who were trying to achieve success in Hollywood.
Haley broke down on the stand describing how Weinstein sexually assaulted her twice over two years and said that she felt like an"idiot" after Weinstein raped her a second time. Lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said that Weinstein was the"master of his universe" who treated the women in his sphere of power as"disposables" who didn’t get to complain when they were"stepped on, spit on, demoralized, and raped, and abused” by the once-powerful Hollywood mogul.
His lead lawyer, Donna Rotunno, said that prosecutors had written a script in which they created an “alternate universe” where “women are not responsible for the parties they attend, the men they flirt with, the choices they made to further their own careers, the hotel room invitations, they plane tickets they accept, the jobs they ask for help to obtain.
During her testimony, Mann sobbed uncontrollably and had trouble breathing when Rotunno repeatedly pressed her about why she had maintained a relationship with Weinstein after the assault, including asking him for professional and personal favors and sending him friendly emails.
There's no point and no amount of money won't make up for that,' says Timothy Buckley, the high-ranking vice president for investigations at Accident Analysis Solutions.
I don’t understand this part. How could they only convict him of two of the five? What was the structure of the charges that caused it? Surely if there was five charges then he *could* have been convicted on them all?
Whilst its good that hes been found guilty, hes a perverted predator who should be jailed for life.
There were charged worse than rape?
He should be spending the rest of his life in prison
