Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases
During his career as a film producer, Harvey Weinstein, formerly of Miramax Films and The Weinstein Company (TWC), exploited his influential position to commit criminal sexual acts including rape.
In October 2017, The New York Times and The New Yorker reported that dozens of women accused Harvey Weinstein of rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse over a period of at least thirty years. Over eighty women in the film industry have since accused Weinstein of such acts. Weinstein denied "any non-consensual sex." Shortly after, he was dismissed from The Weinstein Company (TWC), was expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and other professional associations, and retired from public view.
Criminal investigations into complaints from at least six women are ongoing in Los Angeles, New York City, and London. In May 2018, Weinstein was arrested in New York and charged with rape and other offenses.[1] In February 2020, he was found guilty of rape in the third degree and a criminal sexual act.[2] In March 2020, he was sentenced to 23 years of imprisonment.[3]
The New York Times and The New Yorker were awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for their coverage of Weinstein. The scandal triggered many similar allegations against powerful men around the world, and led to the ousting of many of them from their positions. It also led a great number of women to share their own experiences of sexual assault, harassment, or rape on social media under the hashtag #MeToo. The scandal's impact on powerful men in various industries came to be called the Weinstein effect.
Background
Harvey Weinstein and his brother, Bob Weinstein, formed the film production company Miramax and led the company from 1979 to 2005.[4] In March 2005, the Weinsteins founded The Weinstein Company (TWC) and departed from Miramax that September.[5][6]
Rumors of Harvey Weinstein's "casting couch" practices circulated in Hollywood for years, and entertainment figures at times alluded to them.[7] As early as 1998, Gwyneth Paltrow said on Late Show with David Letterman that Weinstein "will coerce you to do a thing or two."[7] In 2005, Courtney Love advised young actresses in an interview, "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party in the Four Seasons, don't go."[8] In 2010, an article titled "Harvey's Girls"[9] for Pajiba alluded to Weinstein's "casting couch" reputation: "Every few years, Harvey picks a new girl as his pet."[7] In 2012, a character on the TV series 30 Rock said: "I'm not afraid of anyone in show business, I turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein on no less than three occasions, out of five."[7] While announcing the 2013 nominees for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award, Seth MacFarlane joked: "Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein."[7] After the allegations were published, director Quentin Tarantino said that he had known about Weinstein harassing actresses for decades, and had confronted him about it.[10] Ivana Lowell wrote in her book Why Not Say What Happened?, published in 2010, about misbehavior by Weinstein when she worked for the books division of Miramax. The incidents described were in her office when she was alone with Harvey Weinstein, and in her home when a female friend of hers was present. She wrote that she "knew about Harvey's reputation as a womanizer; tales of his trying to seduce every young actress in town were infamous."[11]
Journalists wrote or attempted to write about Weinstein's alleged behavior. David Carr found that no one allegedly assaulted by Weinstein would speak on the record; Ken Auletta and his editors decided he could not mention an assault allegation without cooperation from the victim.[12] In 2015, Jordan Sargent wrote in his Gawker article "Tell Us What You Know About Harvey Weinstein's 'Open Secret'"[13] that "rumors of the powerful producer leveraging his industry power for sexual satisfaction—consensual or otherwise—have tended to remain unaired, confined to hushed conversation and seedier gossip-blog comment threads."[7] The New York Times later wrote that Weinstein had built a "wall of invulnerability", in part through his support of leading Democratic politicians. He boasted being friends with Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. The Clintons continued longstanding close relationships with him despite alleged warnings about Weinstein to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign from Lena Dunham and Tina Brown.[12]
In 2015 The New York Times reported that Weinstein was questioned by police "after a 22-year-old woman accused him of touching her inappropriately."[14] The woman, Italian model Ambra Gutierrez, cooperated with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to obtain an audio recording where Weinstein admitted to having inappropriately touched her.[15] As the police investigation progressed and became public, tabloids published negative stories about Gutierrez that portrayed her as an opportunist.[16][17] American Media, publisher of the National Enquirer, allegedly agreed to help suppress the allegations by Gutierrez and Rose McGowan.[12] Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. decided not to file charges against Weinstein, citing insufficient evidence of criminal intent,[17] against the advice of local police who considered the evidence sufficient.[18] The New York district attorney's office and the NYPD blamed each other for failing to bring charges.[18]
In July 2018, after many allegations and criminal charges of sexual misconduct, Greek journalist Taki Theodoracopulos said to The Spectator that his friend Weinstein told him in an interview, "Yes, I did offer them [girls] acting jobs in exchange for sex, but so did and still does everyone."[19] Weinstein's lawyer later said he had been present, and Weinstein did not make that statement. Theodoracopulos stated he "may have misrepresented" Weinstein.[20] Weinstein's quotes and some of the author's observations were later removed from the article which only appeared on the magazine's website.[21]
2017 reports
Substantial allegations of sexual misconduct by Weinstein were first reported by The New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey on October 5, 2017. The story accused Weinstein of three decades of sexually harassing and paying eight settlements to actresses and female production assistants, temps, and other employees who worked at Miramax and TWC.[17][22] The investigation, which came on the heels of a successful exposé of Bill O'Reilly by The New York Times, had taken roughly five months.[23]
Five days later, on October 10, longtime NBC News correspondent Ronan Farrow reported in The New Yorker further allegations that Weinstein had sexually assaulted or harassed thirteen women, and raped three.[24] Farrow said he had wanted to break the story months earlier with NBC but implied the network was under pressure not to publish,[25] which NBC denied.[26] According to Farrow, sixteen former or current executives and assistants connected with Weinstein said they had witnessed or had been informed of Weinstein's non-consensual sexual advances to women. Four actresses relayed their suspicion that, after rejecting Weinstein's advances and complaining about him, he had them removed from projects or persuaded others to remove them. A number of Farrow's sources said Weinstein had referred to his success in planting stories in the media about individuals who had crossed him. The New Yorker also published the 2015 audio recording in which Weinstein admits to groping Gutierrez.[24]
In November 2017, Farrow reported that Weinstein had, through the lawyer David Boies, employed private intelligence agencies Kroll and Black Cube and private investigator Jack Palladino to spy on and influence Weinstein's alleged victims as well as Kantor, Twohey, Farrow and other reporters who were investigating Weinstein. He took these actions, according to Farrow, to prevent his sexual conduct from becoming public.[12][27][28]
Accusers
Since the initial reporting in 2017, over eighty women[29] have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault or rape. In November 2017, a group of the alleged victims, led by Italian actress Asia Argento, released a list of over a hundred alleged instances of sexual abuse by Weinstein.[30][31] The incidents in the list date from 1980 to 2015 and include eighteen allegations of rape.[30]
According to the women's reports, Weinstein invited young actresses or models into a hotel room or office on the pretext of discussing their career, and then he demanded massages or sex.[32] He told them that complying with his demands would help their careers and repeatedly claimed to have had sex with Paltrow, unbeknownst to the actress.[12]
Former colleagues and collaborators of Weinstein told reporters that these activities were enabled by employees, associates and agents who set up these meetings, as well as lawyers and publicists who suppressed complaints with payments and threats.[32] Bob Weinstein, for example, was allegedly involved in three settlements with accusers, the first in 1990. One Miramax executive reported being harassed by Weinstein after being promoted and praised by him; she and other employees allegedly found that the HR department protected Weinstein more than they did his employees.[12]

- Asia Argento told The New Yorker that in 1997, Weinstein invited her into a hotel room, "pulled her skirt up, forced her legs apart, and performed oral sex on her as she repeatedly told him to stop."[24]
- Paz de la Huerta said Weinstein had raped her on two separate occasions in November and December 2010.[48]
- Lucia Evans said, after a business meeting in 2004, Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him.[24]
- Hope Exiner d'Amore, a former employee of Weinstein, said he raped her during a business trip to New York in the late 1970s.[39]
- Miriam "Mimi" Haleyi, a production crew member, said Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her in his New York City apartment in 2006 when she was in her twenties.[110]
- Dominique Huett said Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her and then carried out another sexual act in front of her.[111]
- Natassia Malthe said in 2008, Weinstein barged into her London hotel room at night and raped her.[74][112]
- Jessica Mann testified in 2020 that Weinstein raped her, on March 18, 2013.[75][79]
- Rose McGowan wrote on Twitter that she told the Amazon Studios head Roy Price that Weinstein had raped her, but Price ignored this and continued collaborating with Weinstein.[113] Price later resigned from his post following sexual harassment allegations against him.[114]

- Melissa Thompson, a tech entrepreneur, told Sky News Weinstein raped her in his hotel room following a business meeting in 2011.[116][117][118]
- An unnamed woman told The New Yorker that Weinstein invited her into a hotel room on a pretext, and "forced himself on [her] sexually" despite her protests.[24]
- An unnamed actress told the Los Angeles Times that in 2013, Weinstein "bullied his way" into her hotel room, grabbed her by the hair, dragged her into the bathroom and raped her.[119]
- An unnamed actress sued Weinstein for sexual battery and assault, alleging that in 2016 he forced her into sex.[120]
Weinstein's response
In response to The New York Times report in 2017, Weinstein said: "I appreciate the way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it." He said he was due to take a sabbatical and was working with therapists to "deal with this issue head on."[22] His consulting lawyer, Lisa Bloom, described him as "an old dinosaur learning new ways." Bloom was criticized for her handling of Weinstein's defense and ended her involvement for Weinstein on October 7, 2017.[121] Two days later, Weinstein hired public relations company Sitrick and Company, which specializes in crisis PR;[122] they dropped Weinstein as a client on April 3, 2018.[123] Weinstein's attorney Charles Harder, who was then known for filing the suit that bankrupted Gawker, said his client would be suing The New York Times,[124] but as of October 15, 2017, Harder was no longer working for Weinstein.[125]
In response to the report in The New Yorker, a spokesperson for Weinstein said:[24]
Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein. Mr. Weinstein has further confirmed that there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances ... Mr. Weinstein has begun counseling, has listened to the community and is pursuing a better path. Mr. Weinstein is hoping that if he makes enough progress, he will be given a second chance.
Subsequent reports and accusations of rape were likewise met with the response that "any allegations of nonconsensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein."[39]
On January 30, 2018, Weinstein's attorney released private e-mails from Ben Affleck and Jill Messick, Rose McGowan's former manager, that both contradicted McGowan's version of the incident.[126][127] On February 7, 2018, Messick committed suicide.[128] Both the released e-mails and McGowan's own accusations against Messick led to increased negative public and media attention towards Messick, including cyberbullying.[129] Messick's family blamed Weinstein, McGowan, the media and the public for her death.[130]
In March 2018, Weinstein's lawyer Benjamin Brafman said in an interview with The Times (of England): "The casting couch in Hollywood was not invented by Harvey Weinstein. … If a woman decides that she needs to have sex with a Hollywood producer to advance her career and actually does it and finds the whole thing offensive, that's not rape." Addressing these women, Brafman said, "You made a conscious decision that you're willing to do something that is personally offensive in order to advance your career."[131]
Criminal prosecutions
Police investigations
In October 2017, the New York City Police Department (NYPD), London's Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) were reviewing allegations against Weinstein following reports about his conduct.[132] The London investigation—dubbed "Operation Kaguyak"—reportedly investigated fifteen alleged sexual assaults by Weinstein, dating back to the 1990s.[133]
New York trial, conviction, and sentencing
On November 3, 2017, the NYPD were preparing a warrant to arrest Weinstein for his alleged rape of Paz de la Huerta, an investigation still pending as of May 2018 and unrelated to the later arrest of Weinstein.[134][135]
On May 25, 2018, Weinstein was charged by the New York County District Attorney's Office with "rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for incidents involving two separate women." After surrendering to police, he appeared in the New York City Criminal Court before Judge Kevin McGrath.[136] Weinstein was released the same day on a $1 million bail. He agreed to surrender his passport and wear an ankle monitor confining him to Connecticut and New York.[137][136] In July 2018, Weinstein was indicted on an additional charge of "predatory sexual assault" against a woman he allegedly forced into oral sex in 2006.[138] On October 11, 2018, a judge dismissed one of the sex assault charges.[139]
Weinstein was initially represented by Benjamin Brafman, but parted ways with Brafman in January 2019,[140][141] and hired Donna Rotunno as his defense counsel.[142] Weinstein was tried in February 2020 in Manhattan Supreme Court. At the trial, six women testified that Weinstein had sexually assaulted them; the charges themselves rested on the complaints of two women, a production assistant and a former actress, who gave the jury accounts from 2006 and 2013, respectively.[143][3] On February 24, 2020, the jury found Weinstein guilty of rape in the third degree and a criminal sexual act in the first degree, and not guilty on three counts including two more serious charges of predatory sexual assault.[2][3]
After the verdict, Weinstein was remanded to jail,[143] where he was housed in Rikers Island's infirmary unit.[3] Justice James A. Burke sentenced Weinstein to 23 years in prison on March 11, 2020.[3] Weinstein was 67 years of age and in poor health at the time of sentencing, meaning that he might spend the rest of his life in prison.[3] On March 18, he was transferred to Wende Correctional Facility.[144]
Los Angeles criminal charges
On January 6, 2020, the Los Angeles County District Attorney announced separate criminal charges against Weinstein, allegedly raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in separate incidents over a two-day period in 2013. Weinstein is charged with one felony count each of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint.[145]
On April 10, 2020, Weinstein faced another charge sexual battery by restraint against a third victim, stemming from an incident at a Beverly Hills hotel in 2010.[146][147]
Civil lawsuits
On October 23, 2017, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman opened a civil rights investigation into TWC. He issued a subpoena for records related to sexual harassment and discrimination complaints at the company.[148]
In January 2018, Weinstein's former personal assistant Sandeep Rehal sued both Weinstein brothers and TWC for discrimination and harassment, alleging that much of her work involved "catering to Harvey Weinstein's sexual appetites and activities", including working while he was naked. Weinstein denied these allegations.[149]
On April 30, 2018, Ashley Judd sued Weinstein for allegedly making false statements about her after she rejected his sexual requests, which damaged her career and cost her a role in a Lord of the Rings movie.[150]
On May 24, 2019, multiple press reports stated Weinstein had offered to settle civil lawsuits against him for $44 million.[151][152][153] Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected the settlement in July 2020, criticizing several of the terms including that "Harvey Weinstein can get a defense fund ahead of the claimants is obnoxious".[154]
Reactions
Weinstein's alleged actions were widely criticized by prominent persons in entertainment and politics. They triggered a public discussion about, as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) put it, "willful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behavior and workplace harassment" in the film industry.[155]
Business and professional associations
On October 8, 2017, TWC board of directors dismissed Weinstein,[156] and he resigned from the company's board nine days later.[157] In the wake of the scandal, TWC declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2018.
After Weinstein's ouster was announced, several companies ended their collaborations with TWC, including Apple (October 9),[158] Hachette (October 12),[159] Amazon (October 13),[160] Lexus and Ovation (October 25).[161] The AMPAS, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), the Producers Guild of America (PGA), and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS) also stripped Weinstein of their memberships.[155][162][163][164][165]
Politics
Prominent politicians condemned Weinstein's actions. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama denounced Weinstein's reported behavior on October 10, 2017.[166] French President Emmanuel Macron initiated the revocation of Weinstein's Legion of Honour title.[167] In the UK, Labour members of parliament requested the revocation of Weinstein's Commander of the Order of the British Empire honorary title.[168]
Several politicians Weinstein had supported gave his donations to charities, including Democratic Senators Al Franken,[169] Patrick Leahy, and Martin Heinrich.[170]
Other reactions
Weinstein's wife Georgina Chapman announced her divorce on October 10, 2017.[171] That month, the University at Buffalo, Weinstein's alma mater, revoked his honorary degree,[172] and Harvard University rescinded Weinstein's 2014 W. E. B. Du Bois medal.[173]
On New Year's Day 2018, more than three hundred Hollywood actresses and other women published an open letter in the daily newspapers The New York Times and La Opinión appealing to support the initiative Time's Up.[174][175][176]
American recording artist Madonna, who has worked with Weinstein in her films, said in an interview for The New York Times Magazine, "Harvey crossed lines and boundaries and was incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward with me when we were working together." She also said she was aware of his behavior like a lot of other women in the entertainment business, but because he was powerful and successful, few spoke out against him.[177][178]
Impact
In the United States
The October 2017 allegations against Weinstein precipitated an immediate "national reckoning" against sexual harassment and assault in the United States,[179] known as the "Weinstein effect." Compounded by other sexual harassment cases earlier in the year, the Weinstein reports and the subsequent "#MeToo" hashtag campaign, which encouraged individuals to share their suppressed stories of sexual misconduct, created a cavalcade of allegations across multiple industries that brought about the swift ousting of many men in positions of power both in the United States and, as it spread, around the world.[180][181]
On October 15, 2017, deceased actress Misty Upham's father, Charles Upham, went public with allegations that his daughter was raped by a member of Weinstein's production team at the same Golden Globes ceremony where she was honored for her work on one of Weinstein's films, and that other members of Weinstein's team had not only witnessed the rape but had cheered the rapist.[182]
In the entertainment industry, allegations led to the ousting of actors and directors alike. Most prominently, actor Kevin Spacey, comedian Louis C.K., and filmmaker Brett Ratner had projects canceled following at least six allegations apiece.[183] Over two hundred women accused filmmaker James Toback of sexual harassment.[181] In journalism, allegations led to the expelling of editors, publishers, executives, and hosts. In other industries, celebrity chef John Besh and other executives in finance and public relations were removed.[181][183] As of November 25, 2017, the Los Angeles Police Department was investigating twenty-eight sex crime cases involving media figures.[184]
Time magazine dubbed the "Silence Breakers" behind the #MeToo movement Time Person of the Year in 2017.[185] American journalists in conversation at NPR wrote of the series of allegations feeling like a tipping point for societal treatment of sexual misconduct, distinguished from prior sexual misconduct public debates by the public trust put in the celebrity accusers, as opposed to prior cases of publicly unknown accusers.[186] Other journalists doubted that the trend would hold.[181]
In April 2018, The New York Times and The New Yorker were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service "for their coverage of the sexual abuse of women in Hollywood and other industries around the world."[187]
In 2019, the documentary Untouchable was released, featuring interviews from several of Weinstein's accusers, including Rosanna Arquette and Paz de la Huerta.[188] On September 10, 2019, a nonfiction book written by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey called She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement was published, which follows the process of their investigation, both behind the scenes and in public.
Internationally
The "Me Too" campaign spread to other countries and languages over social media in Asia, Europe, Latin and North America.[189]
In North America, Canadian comedy festival founder Gilbert Rozon resigned and over a dozen individuals accused Quebec television host and producer Éric Salvail of sexual misconduct.[190]
In Europe, allegations against multiple British politicians created a public scandal and led to the suspension and resignations of three officials. In France,[191] political organizations close to the Socialist Party, in particular the Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF), were accused of systemic sexual harassment. The French daily newspaper Le Monde published in November 2017 two articles on alleged sexual harassment and predation supported by former UNEF presidents, Jean-Baptiste Prévost and Emmanuel Zemmour.[192][193] In an editorial, more than eighty UNEF female members and militants came forward to accuse the Union of "sexual violence".[194]
