The accusations, amplified in the public sphere by the #MeToo movement, forced many in the country to rethink stereotypical notions of rapists as violent strangers in dark alleys, instead acknowledging that many assaults are committed by someone known to a victim."dozens and dozens and dozens of loving emails" sent to him by accusers in the aftermath of the alleged sexual assaults, experts explained the public will once again have to reckon with their misconceptions.
During opening arguments, Cheronis presented emails from two of the women, Mimi Haleyi and a woman ABC News is not naming because she hasn't publicly come forward. Haleyi was Weinstein's production assistant. She has accused him of performing a forcible sex act on her in 2006. "If they can now conceptualize this as a relationship, they can feel they have control, whereas before they didn't feel they had control," Jeglic said.
Damon Cheronis former Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein's legal team hold a press conference during his first day in court in New York, Jan. 6, 2020. Fontes said the defense's argument surrounding the emails could not only be potentially harmful to the victims on the stand, but also to other victims deciding whether to come forward.
It take years for an adult to realize it was rape, involving Weinstein... Before or after you were in that movie. Think about this same situation where parents are the ones who offer their children... Like Disney.
Sorry but if attorneys are paying hundred of dollars per hour for expert witness testimony, don't be so gullible that you're unwilling to even put their schtick up to the simplest sort of bullshit sniff test.

Harvey Weinstein is a rapist. But that argument, if accepted, just means there is no defense. If the only evidence necessary for a conviction is a unquestionable accusation then this opens the risk for a lot of bullshit. Exculpatory evidence may take years to uncover.
Weinstein’s accusers could have all said no if they weren’t so desperate for fame and attention.
Everyone knows that the only way to become a famous actress (or actor) in Hollywood is to be a whore.
If they didn’t know it was rape 30 years ago it probably wasn’t rape! Wtf has happened to the left hand lunatics! They all love Bill Clinton though! The one who actually raped women and grabbed them by the p$$$y!
Ya it wasn’t rape when they banged him to become a rich actress but now that they’ve made it it is! GTFOOH! They’re whores who got what they wanted and now they’re embarrassed! Plus the whole of Hollywood knew about it and is was all good!!
I can bet that none of the women had RAPE on their mind when they wanted to become actresses in major Hollywood movies.
Awwww how predictable ...every single reply so far is a ahole defending a known sexusl predator ....BEYOND PATHETIC
Earnestine Marie Davison aka Spankie has been raping a special needs woman both physically & mentally. As sheriff she will be arrested
And then as years go by a decade or two and the faded past can be repainted with details that were not true...Tis true some have Lock solid memory, but most do not and substitutions appear as if they were fact and it just ain't True There is danger 'As time goes by!'
When the gold digging doesn't pan out the way you hoped, you now have the option to do a third trimester booty recall.
Lmao! You’re a joke of a news organization!
WT?
Where's Disney in all this? Or did they payoff $$$$ with non disclosure agreements signed They did buy Miramax from harvey, and kept him on... Pulp Fiction was the first movie approved by the Disney board, after they picked up Miramax..
This is a VERY dangerous argument. If accepted by court, then that would mean it would take years for EVERYONE to realise they have been raped/deceived out of their money/discriminated racially etc, and this would open up endless lawsuit specially if big money is involved.

The horrible Hollywood scene normalized atrocities like these so much they keep pushing the “Rape” boundaries
Pretty sure they know it's rape when they're being raped.
