I giurati del tribunale penale di Manhattan hanno finalmente raggiunto un verdetto nel processo iniziato a gennaio contro Harvey Weinstein, accusato di molestie da quasi cento #donne: l'ex produttore cinematografico statunitense è stato dichiarato colpevole di violenza sessuale di primo grado e di stupro di terzo grado. “È un nuovo giorno per le coraggiose donne che hanno denunciato Weinstein. Abbiamo un debito di riconoscenza nei vostri confronti", ha commentato dopo il verdetto il procuratore di New York, Cyrus Vance Jr. Weinstein rischia ora dai 5 ai 25 anni di carcere. La sentenza sarà pronunciata l’11 marzo. Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of criminal sexual assault in the first degree and rape in the third degree on February 24, 2020 in New York City. A jury found the former movie producer guilty on two of the five potential criminal charges he faced at his #trial. Weinstein will be sentenced on March 11 and faces 5-25 years in prison.

Osuđen je ”kriminalni seksualni čin” i ”silovanje u trećem stepenu”, a oslobođen je krivice po najtežoj tački optužnice za koju je mogao dobiti doživotni zatvor.

On Monday, after learning that a jury found him guilty of rape and sexual assault, Harvey Weinstein was shocked, according to Variety. “The words he said over and over again to me is, ‘I’m innocent, I’m innocent, I’m innocent. How could this happen in America?'” Weinstein’s attorney Arthur Aidala said. Donna Rotunno, Weinstein's lead attorney, also revealed that Weinstein is having vision problems. “He is currently taking shots in his eyes so he does not go blind,” Rotunno said. Weinstein has also been seen with a walker, supposedly due to back surgery. His lawyers are hoping Weinstein will be taken to Rikers Island prison, which has medical facilities. As for the charges he was just convicted of, Weinstein is looking at a sentence of up to 29 years. He also faces additional charges in California. #harveyweinstein

Podsjećamo, Weinstein je osim u New Yorku, za silovanje i seksualno zlostavljanje optužen i na sudu u Los Angelesu. Više od 80 žena, među kojima su poznate glumice i žene iz filmske industrije, optužilo ga je za seksualno uznemiravanje i zlostavljanje.
