Harvey Weinstein is having a bad day:
 

Guilty on rape charges w a Los Angeles trial still to come. :cool:

I doubt that walker will do him much good in the joint.

It'll either give him something to bend over or a way to be held down.

Being remanded into custody. Maybe he can share a cell with Cos.

I really don't understand how scum like that can get away with it for so long..

Has anyone heard what sentence he’s facing? He was acquitted of the first degree rape and two predatory sexual assault charges. Those three charges carried a minimum 25 year sentence and a maximum of life. It looks to me that the third degree rape charge carries a maximum of four years but the criminal sex acts charge carries a five year minimum and a 25 year maximum, but I haven’t seen any articles that confirm that.

Those booty call emails from the victim LOL

Sadly, he'll end up in a Club Med style prison.

how does that work?
let's say they get him with 5 years on each count, consecutive.


Why would he manage to get a Club Med prison
And what kind of comforts does that mean over hard time in st Quentin or a Supermax somewhere

Everybody knew he was a pussy hound but he was rich and powerful. He could make or break someones career. That's all it takes.

Jimmy Savile in the UK was much worse than Harvey and everybody covered for him because he knew the right people and could get things done. If you read about Savile you'll see he was truly depraved.

Power........in Hollywood.The casting couch. I'm sure there were / are many like him in the industry. A fair number of people are willing to sell their souls / body for fame & fortune.

Yep, it certainly explains how some people got the part.

To paraphrase the great Eddie Murphy:

The Movie Types types get all the pu//y. Like Weinstein: they f everybody.

Weinstein will f anything that moves.

Come to my house the fish stop swimming. He don't play.

"Stiff-$chitt" Harvey, you azzhat

These are state charges so he's not going to be assigned to something like a federal work camp or minimum security facility. The old "Club Fed" days are long gone anyway. For male offenders there haven't really been country club prisons for a while. New York state prisons are notorious.

Sentences in the US are concurrent (meaning both sentences run at the same time) unless there is a legal basis to make an exception. I don't see any obvious reason to run the sentences consecutively, so I assume they will be concurrent, but again, I don't know for sure. They may run the sentences consecutively on the grounds that they are separate incidents with separate victims. In most states, though, the general rule still is that any incarceration time is credited to all offenses charged as of the date of the incarceration.

I looked up credit for good time, meaning time actually served versus his sentence. As best as I can tell, he qualifies for 1/7 time off for good behavior. There are some other early release options that require approval of a parole board. I saw one program where offenders qualify for early release if they successfully complete a two year degree program in optometry. Who knew?

He's a first time offender and older, but he has been convicted of a violent sex offense. He'll get sent to whatever prison New York uses to house sex offenders. He'll have to start out in medium security and will have his status adjusted up or down over time, depending on how he behaves. They may not allow sex offenders to go below medium security, I don't know for sure, but he's going to spend some hard time before he gets moved, if he gets moved. He may ask to be segregated, but that gets him something not a lot different than solitary confinement. His victims can take comfort in knowing that the time he spends in prison will be meaningful and harsh - if that offers comfort to anyone. Medium security is a hard because really bad people who are on life sentences but have shown a history of good behavior can be assigned there where they mix with relatively petty offenders who didn't make the cutoff for a lower level for some reason. And there's slightly less supervision, so a vulnerable prisoner has more reason to be concerned in medium security than either the more controlled high security or with the relatively lower level offenders in minimum security.

That makes more sense.. I really could not fathom any kind of soft prison for rape charges.
it's not like some kind Martha Steward like conviction

Hollywood.

And this was a Harvey approved movie...

I don't know the extent of his wealth, but am wondering if he retains enough of it to afford some kind of "protection" in the pen....and if that's something that is even possible.

It’s absolutely possible, in fact it’s guaranteed.

My hope is he is killed in prison. He's not quite human. We really don't need trash like this, even in prison, on the planet.

I'll be amazed if he doesn't get PC

He’s in a NYCity hospital. No comment on why.

third degree rape, and sexual conduct (For giving head).
I don't like the guy, but that's all they got on him after all this. Bill consent in a can Cosby did worse.

He will be diagnosed with a very expensive medical condition, and his lawyer will ask for house arrest.

he already moved to a hospital for chest pains..
starting to think he would have made a good actor as well as producer

He's got a brilliant legal team... Cash money ;)

Time to take that walker off of the "pathetic " setting...

No doubt, he is a low life POS. There was a recent case where a drunk driver killed a family and he only got 8 years and likely will only serve 4. So killing a family is less punishment than non-consensual sex with several women. Maybe if he was a street rapist and brutalized the women and beat them.

Zero doubt, he needs to spend years in prison, but I don't think he should get more punishment that a repeat drunk driver that kills a family. I do hop Big Bubba teaches him all about rape in prison.

No


I want him to live long enough to get out of prison in New York, be extradited to California and spend some time in San Quentin. I want the most mediocre colorectal surgeon available to do any repairs he needs while incarcerated.

I want him to experience as many years of horrible, terrifying existence as possible.

So he gets convicted for some of the lesser things he's probably done and everyone is happy now. Justice served, move on. He was probably guilty of 'rape' at some points in time with some women who either kept quiet, got paid, added themselves to the list of wanting financial compensation for a criminal act, or spoke out and were finally able to do the right thing many years later. Libel laws are powerful and attorneys aka right to pursue fair justice in the legal system are very expensive.

But the situation is an entire grey area.
Let's examine the facts. He wasn't some lone example. He was well known and well liked in many of the elite circles going to the top. For decades and decades. And he is definitly still not the lone culprit in the industry. Everyone knew or suspected what was and still is going on. Hollywood financial accounting is also an untouchable subject. There are many many thousands of tired bartenders/baristas/porn actors who have experienced the game. Only those who are willing to pay off the right agents and attend the right parties make it to the top. There has been been a culture of, shall we say, debauchery in Hollywood going back a century and mainly controlled by a select network of inter-supporting vested individuals. Everyone looses when the system falls.

Hollywood is a dynamic place where everything happens behind the scenes, incredible competition with the highs and lows, boom or bust, and personal connections and trade-offs are the modus operundi. There isn't any kind of standardized test which determines one's job opportunities or multi-million dollar paydays. It's all in personal connections and a lot of networking and time. A two minute phone call makes-and-breaks careers just like that

Did most of those actresses willingly travel to hotel rooms late at night expecting to talk to the very top boss about a problem on the set which needed to get fixed? No. They were adults and made choices knowing what was implied. But the real question should be about the entire structure of the industry and the hiring process with fraternization between bosses and employees. Any time there is inter-mingling there is the potential for 'unfair' advantages to those willing to trade favors for opportunities.

There was a recent case of a woman driver killing a teenager by driving in the wrong side of the road . She got away Scot free because of you Govmt. It may be time to ban all US citizens from driving in the UK so it can't happen again.

@john70t: well said but HW obviously crossed the line. There's the system and then there's abusing the system. You are correct about the huge gray area that spans the majority of what you call "the game." It isn't just Hollywood either. I would have to agree with you that the entertainment industry is off to the side in its own niche. That would lay the path to expose the 'debauchery' that might seem unique to that culture. Expand this across all walks of life and we will be forever in courts.

Some people are just bigger pigs than others.

Arnold is one lucky SOB.

The FBI and NYPD Tuesday morning raided the Time Square offices of Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard as part of a sex-trafficking investigation, officials said.

Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, confirmed to The Post that the raid was carried out but would not elaborate or provide details.

Looks like Nygaard is next not Placido....

That he's a friend of Bill does not surprise me !

Long overdue, that dude is a well known POS

I could live with that.

It's not just the Californians who want a go at him next. The English say they would like to talk to him too https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8044461/Harvey-Weinstein-UK-victims-justice.html

Can't help but wonder if they would have gotten more guilty verdicts if that train wreck Gloria allred wasn't involved.
