Will Harvey Weinstein's Victims Ever See True Justice?

at a comedy club proved last month.) Sure, the 67-year-old's reputation, company, and marriage have all dissolved. Under any other circumstances, those would be considered serious consequences. But for Weinstein, a man accused of sexual misconduct by more than 80 women, they somehow feel minimal.

As for how Weinstein is getting around paying the victims out of his own pocket, the insurance companies representing his former studio, the Weinstein Company, are planning to foot the bill. More than $12 million would go toward a portion of the legal costs for Weinstein, as well as for his brother Bob and a number of former Weinstein Company board members. They would also all be protected by the deal, which would require the accusers to drop their claims. Meanwhile, $6.

All this only adds to the weight of Weinstein's upcoming criminal trial, which is set to begin on January 6 at the New York Supreme Court. But even if the prosecution is successful—technically, Weinstein could end up in prison for life—a criminal verdict would have far less impact on the majority of Weinstein's alleged victims than the legal negotiations behind the scenes.

Plenty of those who have accused and condemned Weinstein would like to see him behind bars. Even so, the trial's lack of impact on the majority of Weinstein's accusers raises the question of how, and if, they will ever see real justice—and what justice actually means in a system where powerful men like Weinstein are still able to buy their way out of accountability.

Whatever justice may be, it sure doesn't sound like what one of Weinstein's accusers, the actress Katherine Kendall, told theabout the deal: "I don’t love it, but I don’t know how to go after him. I don’t know what I can really do." Caitlin Dulany, another actress who has accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct, seemed to echo her sentiments.

Money talks

It's nice to be privileged as Bill Cosby is in prison at his age.
