Film producer Harvey Weinstein73, five years ago, was sentenced to 23 years’ imprisonment for rape and other sexual offenses. The Weinstein defense complained about the judgments and the court overturned the judgment because there had been errors in the trial.
Now a new trial is underway. One of Weinstein’s alleged victims was Finnish -born Miriam Haley; Afp.
In his speech, Haley told how he visited Weinstein’s Soho apartment in July 2006. At that time, he was a production assistant without work. Haley had previously met Weinstein and refused to have sexual intercourse. However, in Soho’s apartment, the situation progressed physical and the film producer tried to kiss her.
Haley, a Finnish -born Haley, says Weinstein has forced him in the bedroom, where he forcefully forced him into oral sex. According to his report, a Finnish -born woman did not dare to report the crime because her visa did not allow her to work and she feared she would be expelled from the country.
After hearing the testimony, Weinstein shook his head in the courtroom. Otherwise, the film producer listened to the legal session from the wheelchair.
According to AFP, Haley’s story is weakened by the fact that after the incident, he was still in contact with the film producer and even had consent with him.
The court overturned Haley and the actor Jessica Mannin cases related to the judgment because evidence was illegally processed during the legal proceedings, says AFP. These accusations are now being re -processed in court. Weinstein is also subject to a new prosecution that he would have sexually harassed a 19-year-old girl in 2006.
Haley is one of over 80 women who have accused Weinstein for, among other things, harassment and rape. Many of the A-list opened in 2017, such as Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ashley Judd. Women’s accusations were the impetus for the #metoo movement.
Weinstein has denied all accusations and claims that all sexual relationships have occurred with consent.
Weinstein has been one of the most influential people in the film industry. He has produced several success films such as Pulp Fiction, in love with Shakespeare, honorary bastards and English patient. Weinstein’s use has, by allegations, been considered a public secret in Hollywood.
Weinstein’s condition is increasingly lower. Weinstein has been reported to suffer from, among other things, bone marrow cancer and diabetes.
