Weinstein Indicted for Rape and Criminal Sexual Conduct
Frontline ^ | May 30, 2018 | Leila Miller

A grand jury voted to indict Harvey Weinstein on charges of raping one woman and forcing another to perform oral sex less than a week after the Hollywood producer turned himself in to authorities.

The indictment, filed on Wednesday, May 30, charges Weinstein with committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree in 2004, as well as with first-degree and third-degree rape for incidents that occurred in 2013. The most serious charges carry a sentence of 5 to 25 years in prison.

They are the first criminal charges against the producer, who was arrested in New York on May 25 and released on a $1 million cash bail. The victim alleging rape has not been identified publicly, but the criminal sex act charge involves then aspiring actress Lucia Evans, who confirmed to the New Yorker last week that she was pressing charges. She told the magazine in October that Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex at his Miramax office in Tribeca after having invited her there for a meeting.

He'll never do a day.

Charges go back to 2004.

The one in 2013....the chick is looking for money. Could care less if he goes to jail.

Kind of like what happened to Moammar Gaddafi after he gave up his nuclear capability and threw himself on the mercy of the Obama regime.

Weinstein gives up his comfortable reputation as a Hollywood “fixer” and throws himself on the mercy of the judicial court and the court of public opinion.

Meat grinders are messy business.

For Weinstein, the wurst is yet to come.

He will apologize, basically that he is sorry he got caught, and then the media/liberals will make him out to be reborn as the new champion of women...and millions of dumbarse American lemmings will buy it.

With all his financial assets does anybody seriously think that rape or assault charges stemming from years-old offenses are going to be proved in a court of law? Weinstein will beat them the same way OJ beat his murder charge — he’ll have a legal dream team baffling a liberal judge with their courtroom BS.
