NEW YORK - A forensic psychiatrist is due to testify at ex-Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s Manhattan rape trial on Friday, explaining why some sexual assault victims do not report attacks or avoid their abusers.

Prosecutors said in court papers that psychiatrist Barbara Ziv, who teaches at Temple University, will seek to dispel “myths” that sexual assault victims “promptly report the abuse, shun the abuser and exhibit obvious signs of psychological harm.” Sciorra’s allegation is too old to be charged as a separate crime, but prosecutors hope it will show that Weinstein was a repeat sexual predator, a charge that could put him in prison for life.

Throw that bastard in jail! It is time to teach Hollywood a lesson.

How come Weinstein is suddenly having disability issues? Is this for real, or am I just horribly suspicious?

please do a follow up piece with details from this expert...people need to understand 'rape' and the way it changes the victim for life.

I have no idea who showed this evil man how to use a walker or even why (if?) he needs one, but he needs retraining.

Has he found Jesus yet?

Another of Hillary’s besties!

Harvey's upgraded his walker.
