Harvey Weinstein Tests Me Too Once Again
In the wake of Weinstein’s case, other high-profile men like R. Kelly, Danny Masterson, Jeffrey Epstein, and Sean “Diddy” Combs faced accusations of serious sexual misconduct, building upon a cultural shift in prosecuting such offenses. However, despite being convicted in a separate rape trial in Los Angeles, Weinstein managed to overturn his New York verdict by arguing that the prosecutors’ approach – using testimony from other accusers regarding charges he was not indicted for – unfairly biased the court. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office opted to retry Weinstein, leading to this week’s trial proceedings. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to the new charges. Keep in mind the details of his initial sentence and what to expect during his upcoming retrial.
