Five years after Harvey Weinstein had been convicted of rape and brought to prison in handcuffs, the former film Mogul returns to a courthouse in Manhattan on Tuesday to cover many of the same allegations – plus one that has not yet been tried.
Weinstein crowded for a previous reception date because he was regularly in the hospital for a variety of health problems
Now 73, it is far from the time when it was one of the most powerful men in the film business.
The Miramax and the Weinstein Company from Movie Mogul were received from 1988 81 Oscar nominations, including six best picture winners. While his bullying behavior was an open secret in the film industry, two synopsis, which was published by the New York Times and New Yorkers in 2017, recorded several allegations of sexual assault on women and in some cases rape.
The articles and a tweet of actress Alyssa Milano, days later, mashed a #metoo movement and encouraged more women to go to the stock exchange with allegations of predatory behavior in all industries.
New York’s Higher Court lifted Harvey Weinstein’s conviction from 2020 for sexual assault and rape, a pioneering judgment of the #metoo movement. Andrew Chang explains how the public prosecutor knew that she took a game of chance and where this gambling went wrong.
Weinstein was released by his company within a few days and his wife initiated divorce procedure. A Grand Jury in New York charged him in spring 2018, the first step towards his criminal proceedings.
Weinstein has not guilty for the repetition and denies that he raped someone or sexually attacked someone. The public prosecutor must not repeat wine stone in certain information, of which he was acquitted during his first process.
Why is there a new attempt?
The state’s appellate court accused Weinstein’s convictions and 23-year-old prison sentence and ordered a new procedure after he found that the original “outrageous” judicial decisions and adverse statements were inclined.
In a 4: 3 decision, the Court said that the then judge James Burke had refused Weinstein a fully fair procedure by making three women testify to allegations that were not part of the case.
The court called the allegations against Weinstein “horrific, shameful, repulsive behavior”, warned that “the destruction of the character of a accused under the applicant’s guise” did not justify some legal proceedings and statements.
What is the new indictment with which it is exposed to?
Weinstein is exposed to allegations in the first legal proceedings that forced the result of a count of criminal sex law in 2006 in a hotel in Manhattan oral sex in a hotel in Manhattan.
The prosecutors said that the woman brought them to them just a few days before Weinstein’s first trial began, but was not part of this case. They said they did not pursue the allegations of the women after Weinstein’s conviction, but visited them again and secured a new indictment after the first judgment.
Weinstein’s lawyers claim that the public prosecutor’s office would not have been waiting for almost five years to raise the additional indictment.
Which allegations will be heard again?
Weinstein is reproduced for two charges for its original process.
He faces a count of criminal sex law because he supposedly thought for a film and television production assistant.
Miriam Haley, a former production assistant produced on the Weinstein Runway projectIn the 2020 examination, said that in June 2006 he had come across a bed in his apartment in Manhattan and had not forced her from her kicks and asking oral sex.
Haley, who also followed the name Mimi Haleyi, admitted that she was in contact with Weinstein, exchanged warm news with him and took an invitation to his hotel room two weeks after the alleged attack, where he pulled her to bed for sex. According to New York law, Weinstein was not charged with Haley’s allegations for rape.
Weinstein also faces a third degree rape because he attacked a Jessica man in a hotel room in Manhattan in 2013.
Man who said she saw Weinstein as a “pseudo father” figure, when she followed an acting career after a rough upbringing, said in the attempt from 2020 that he had caught her in the hotel room, ordered her to move out when he carried over her and then raped her. She claims Weinstein raped her again eight months later in a Hotel Beverly Hills, where she worked as a hairdresser.
Mann remained in contact with Weinstein even after the alleged attack and testified that she sent him flattering e -mails because “his ego was so fragile,” she said, and it “made me safe and worshiped him in this sense”.
The Associated Press generally does not identify any people who claim sexual assault, unless they agree to be named as Haley and Mann did.
If Weinstein is acquitted during this process, would it be free?
No. Weinstein rejected a delivery application from California last year, in which it was guilty for a woman who was known as Jane Doe 1 due to rape, forced oral copulation and another colored sexual miscarriage for a woman who was guilty after the end of 2022 in Los Angeles in Los Angeles.
At the beginning of the following year, he was sentenced to 16 years in prison, which was started after the punishment of New York.
Weinstein’s conviction in California is subject to the review, but right -wing experts said that the two countries are subject to rules in terms of statements on previous actions and behaviors.
