In a landmark MeToo moment, Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial begins in New York where he faces life in prison if convicted on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault

NEW YORK - Harvey Weinstein arrived at a Manhattan court on Monday for the start of his landmark trial on charges of rape, allegations that helped fuel the #MeToo movement and a reckoning for powerful men accused of sexual misconduct.

Outside the courthouse, the Silence Breakers, a group of Weinstein accusers including actresses Rosanna Arquette and Rose McGowan, held a press conference, demanding the former producer be held accountable. Those accusations helped fuel the #MeToo movement, in which hundreds of women have publicly accused powerful men in business, politics, the news media and entertainment of sexual harassment or assault.Monday’s court proceedings will being with a pretrial conference in state court in Manhattan, with jury selection starting on Tuesday, according to Danny Frost, a spokesman for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, whose office brought the charges.

Film producer Harvey Weinstein arrives for the first day of a sexual assault trial in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, U.S., January 6, 2020. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid Within days, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which selects Oscar winners, had expelled Weinstein. On Oct. 15, Alyssa Milano tweeted: “If you’ve ever been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.”

Lawyers will likely question potential jurors about their knowledge and opinion of the case, their work history and whether they have been victims of sexual misconduct.

The cheapest, most basic walker on the market!

What a Phony, using a walker to try and gain sympathy from jurors

And cosby went blind after he got busted also🙄

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a con man!!!

Anyone listening to the Catch And Kill Podcast by Ronan Farrow knows for sure he deserves ever single last year he hopefully gets in jail. He's a disgusting predator with no shame or morals at all. Ew

He'll be rolling in like KennyPowers at his divorce proceedings EastBoundandDown next week

Can you guys give Jessica Reid story the same attention? She was 15yrs old when she was drugged and rape in 2001.Dna test did not clear Charlamagne of the breakfast club radio show like he told the media.Go to ClosureJustice4 to read documents.

This is joke this sexual predator is using the aid of a Walker to get sympathy.

Hence the walker

cecki They’ll be wheeling him in on a hand cart like Hannibal Lecter before long.

Will those providing testimony against him arrive at the courthouse and be escorted in the same or a similar manner?

No way.... Pulp Fiction?!!!

😂😂😂 he can't walk now? Arrest this man.

MeToo moment: Harvey Weinstein is bending over , over a device that is even more bending over than him. Is that symbolical or what?! hopefully this type of predatory filth , including all his asshole companions, will be stopped now.

Why yes that walker and hunched back make you look less of a molester. May I suggest drooling?

He should remain in jail during his trial.

Harvey to receive Academy Award for that performance!

So is the walker still a thing? AwardSeason

Harvey has been taking acting classes to learn to look as a broke down old man that has to use a walker. It won't work. I hope his celly meets him at the door to cell butt ass naked and 'welcomes' him to prison when he arrives.

But wait... he looks so frail... because of the walker... I'm sure he didn't do it.
