The US Court of Appeals in New York sentenced Harvey Weinstein for sex crimes, kicking off the #MeToo movement. Despite this decision, the businessman will remain in prison.
We will talk about mistakes made during the trial. The judge based the overturn on his previous decision to allow the women to testify on charges that were not part of the case.
“We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted evidence of prior alleged sexual conduct without bringing charges against persons other than plaintiffs in the underlying crimes,” the ruling said.
Recall that a former Hollywood producer is serving a 23-year sentence for forcing a television production assistant to perform oral sex and for participating in the rape of an aspiring actress. He is also accused of sexually harassing more than 100 women.
