Every single man who is accused of this is guilty, without question.

Especially if there's multiple accusers. Multiple accusers automatically means definite guilt.

Literally no other explanation.

You might want to look into the history of the presumption of innocence and how it came to be the fundamental pillar of the common law criminal justice system.

False sexual abuse allegations is unfortunately a phenomenon spurred on by many different motivations.

Only today (6mths into lockup) and prehaps a couple of years since the scandal has Harvey Weinstein OBE, lost his fancy title.
He was awarded (the somewhat outdated) Commander of the Order of the British 'Empire' back in 2004, but only today was it removed.

Wasn't Jimmy Saville a Sir or something also?
Surprised the other stein (Epstien) was'nt given some title as well.

Chris D'Elia is being sued by a woman who says he sought pictures and sex from her when she was 17. He denies the claims.

Potential-Monke

Had to Google him and genuinely only know him from roasting Bieber (but wouldn't have know his name, recognise his face though). Seems like he was a sex addict but saying that after the fact is too late. He claims he was forward and his wants and needs with the women who contacted him. Questions over pictures and videos from a 17 year old, who can legally have sex but pictures and videos of her naked are illegal due to child porn laws.

Hard to know, I read his side of it and a few of the reports of their side. Will be interesting to see how this goes. Not taking one side or the other, but I like to stay neutral until the facts come out. Not media facts mind, actual court reported facts.

Apparently another HArvey Weinstein's been outed.

Scott Rudin, producer of films such as The Social Network and Ladybird has been outed as the latest individual who people seemed to tolerate in order to get that 'Award'.

(Interesting how Ladybird's cast and crew went to the Oscars wearing their 'Times Up' outfits... and now we know they pretty much helped facilitate it.)

Some very serious allegations, ranging from slapping a computer screen on an employee's hand, to staff experiencing constant panic attacks while in his employ. Some folks in the know (At least on twitter) saying he's pretty much the next Harvey. We may be seeing more nasty stuff coming forth in the next few days or weeks.

He even looks like Weinstein, saying that theres no mention of sexual allegations but he sounds like a monumental cnunt.

Some more follow-up stories to the whole Scott Rudin story. Apparently, an assistant took his own life due to the experiences of working with Rudin.

I haven't really been following this closely, is this in addition to what he's already been convicted of previously.

Unrelated women contributed to original trial without being involved in the investigation one of which had their own attempt thrown out in the Hollywood trial against Harvey.

Given everything that has happened including the conviction here in the New York case and the Hollywood trials there is no way a new trial won't be impacted in a similar fashion by outside mitigating circumstances.

It should be noted that it's just his 2020 New York conviction that's been overturned (and a retrial ordered). His 2022 Los Angels conviction for rape (and 16 year sentence) still stands.

Ten of Swords

He's not walking out of prison though

He will remain imprisoned because he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape and sentenced to 16 years in prison.

Coca Cola heir and celebrity hologram creator Alkiviades 'Alki' David has been ordered to pay a former employee $900m in a sexual assault case against him that is thought to be the largest sexual damages award in history.

The billionaire, who is responsible for creating holograms of music legends like Michael Jackson and Tupac, has paid out millions in the past for a string of sexual assault cases against him.

Apparently he had a "rape room" too
