Why is Harvey Weinstein in jail?

@SpudMuffin I do not believe he should be in jail.

@emiliya you don't think a rapist should be in jail? Why not?

@SpudMuffin Is he a rapist? The women made accusations years after alleged “rapes.” They made them in 2017. This was during “MeToo” movement. These were models and actresses trying to get ahead in their careers. It is well-known that women seeking to become famous have intimate relations with rich, powerful, and famous men. The casting couch is not a myth.

There are issues with the convictions. He had retrial in New York and the conviction was overturned. The 2020 trial was ruled unfair. He is now having a second retrial regarding another rape conviction in New York. Harvey should be freed. It was a witch hunt with significant media influence. Famous or not famous, no man should be convicted of a crime when there is no physical evidence he committed the crime, especially years after alleged crime.

@MoveAlong This is speculation. You don't know what he and these actresses did together, or whether he is responsible for their failed careers.

“At least he's probably getting all the sex he wants now.”

What are you saying?

@emiliya Those women's stories have corroborated by other people in the industry.

I'm saying when Harvey hits on Bubba in the pen Bubba probably obliges. Or vice versa.

@MoveAlong He is in poor health. He is high profile and has little to no contact with other prisoners.

Harvey is suing Rikers for alleged mistreatment.

@emiliya Poor, poor Harvey.

@emiliya so a rich, powerful man can have all the sex he wants with models and actresses and it's never rape because they're just furthering their careers?
