Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years in prison

a reply to: Freeborn

I have absolutely no sympathy for this piece of # or any other person found guilty of sex offences.

I hope he suffers every single day that he's left on this earth.

This is a case with no physical proof.
How many late teens coerced girls into the back seat?
Wasn't the statute of limitations created for things like this?

If it was rape then go to the police asap.
If it was a bad business deal, then learn from it.
I'll bet most women had sex with someone they wish the hadn't.
How do you defend yourself from some girl who claims you did things to her 5 or more years ago?

How many of these women will be able to get jobs on or off screen now?
Men learned early in life that crying does not get your farther in life.

That can't happen, that was a federal prison, Weinstein is going to a state prison.

It is only quite recently a woman claiming rape has been taken seriously,

before then it was always a case of "she must have asked for it"

For the sh1t she has to go through.....the disbelief..... her character

assassination.......JUST WHY WOULD SHE put herself through it if there

was no truth in it

It's called wishful thinking.

100 bucks says he gets a pardon in less than 2 years.

a reply to: samkent

I'd hate to be a teenager nowadays.
You need written permission just to touch a girl, I wouldn't dare try anything.

But, and its as big a BUT as you can possibly get; this guy abused his position and put undue force and pressure on lots of women in order to get his way.

He's a piece of crap who deserves absolutely no sympathy whatsoever.

I understand that things may have gone too far and I know there are a very small minority of women who falsely accuse people of sex offences, and that is unforgivable and they should be punished exactly the same as a sex offender, but there can never be any excuse whatsoever for sex crimes like he has been found guilty of.

I'm no hypersensitive snowflake or new age man ranting and raving that ALL men are rapists, quite the contrary. Give him time to reflect on his crimes, lock him up for whatever is left of his life, bare essentials and subsistence level food with no visitors, slopping out and almost solitary confinement.

How I know he didnt rape any of these girls?

There's plenty of other gold diggers begging to put out for a chance at the top. He didn't have to rape anyone.

It's a lot better PR than being the girl who screwed him for a role.

Plus potential books and civil suits.

There's plenty of potential reasons to lie.

If I blew Harvey and got a role for it, it would be career suicide to tell the truth.

When there is no value in telling the truth, lies aren't surprising. Not saying they are lying, just that there is plenty of good motivation to lie.

MeToo movement will go after Trump next..... apparently no need for proof anymore.

That's why people tend to look down on it.

But you seem to be suggesting that if there wasn't eligible hoes out there then he would have to rape.

You might want to clarify that position.

I Hope he Drops the Soap in the Shower and Finds Out Personally what it Feels Like to get Nailed to the Wall Against Your Will ...............

My reply to someone an earlier post who said that why didn't women report

rape when it happened

*It is only quite recently a woman claiming rape has been taken

seriously, before then it was always a case of "she must have asked

for it"

Isn't that exactly what you are saying ??

a reply to: eletheia


Women were Reluctant to say Anything about it Until they " Got The Part " . When that did not Happen , then Beware of a Woman Scorned . It was Well Know in the " Business " that Haaavie was a Sexual Predator........

Really?

No he didn't have to rape anyone....... He had enough money to buy a

high price prostitute, but he didn't want that he got off on the power and

force.

There are men like that....they are called RAPIST's

I listed some reasons, that is all.

Perhaps respond to what I say, not what you assume I mean.

That is just not true.
14th century England had rape victims actually neutering their rapists written into law.

I'm cherry picking tho, more rape victims were stoned for being raped today than got to nut the bastard.

If you say quite often I would agree. But saying always is just misinformation that hurts society.

You seem to be suggesting that men were happy to have their wives and daughters raped until recently.

At the very least there has got to be some old property laws that debunk that.

Point being this is not the 14th, 15th, or even the 16th century. We are

living in the 21st century and its to be hoped we've learnt something

from the past? There are many things which have improved lives .....or

would you rather we reverted and went back to life then? OH! hang on a

minute you might just have something lets go back in time and let all those

women loose on Harvey Weinstein to tear of his genitalia ........ save the

tax payer keeping him in prison.

Where did I ever say that? ........ However ALL rapists have mothers, and grand

mothers, while many have sisters, wives, daughters and even that doesn't stop

them from raping

a reply to: eletheia
OK, so it's not only just recently rape accusations have been taken seriously then.

If 14th century attitudes are something you can get behind you have to at least admit you are wrong there.

And I may have assumed what you said also, however I think you implied it by suggesting that social attitudes to rape have "always" been about women asking for it.

I disagree with that, for it to be true the patriarchy would be willingly turning a blind eye to wives and daughters and mothers being raped.

How else would it be possible?

Harvey Weinstein Back in Hospital for Chest Pains, Immediately Following 23-Year Prison Sentence

Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years behind bars earlier today. But the fallen movie mogul only spent a short amount of time in jail before being taken to the hospital, Variety has learned.

Weinstein is currently at New York City’s Bellevue Hospital, and will likely stay overnight, according to his spokesperson.

Weinstein was taken to Rikers Island from the Manhattan courthouse where he was sentenced. He then began having chest pains, so the staff at Rikers decided to send him back to Bellevue “for safety,” his spokesperson said.

variety.com...
Harvey got sick again after his sentence.

I'm sure he's very ill...

Of course, he won't do too well in Jail.

a reply to: eletheia

The Huge gaping hole in your argument is the me too movement picks and chooses targets. Weinstein didnt pay one of these girls for her tail or he passed her up for a better piece. Kavanaugh's supposed victim waited however long to claim this or that. Bill Clintons victims have popped up throughout history and yet he still plays. Until metoo stops selectively targeting people in power to make their statement then they don't stand for poop. And these supposed victims they line up are because he pissed off the wrong person.
