A movie about that reporting, \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>, was released during the trial, and jurors were repeatedly warned not to see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the defense that made #MeToo an issue during the trial, however, emphasizing that none of the four women went to the authorities until after the movement made Weinstein a target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jennifer Siebel Newsom, documentary filmmaker\"]'Throughout the trial, Weinstein's lawyers used sexism, misogyny and bullying tactics to intimidate, demean and ridicule us survivors.

And tears do not make truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the women involved in the charges went by Jane Doe in court. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly or agree to be named through their attorneys, as the women named here did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors called 40 other witnesses in an attempt to give context and corroboration to those stories. Four were other women who were not part of the charges but who testified that Weinstein raped or sexually assaulted them. They were brought to the stand to establish a pattern of sexual predation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein beat four other felony charges before the trial even ended when prosecutors said a woman he was charged with raping twice and sexually assaulting twice would not appear to testify. They declined to give a reason. Judge Lisa Lench dismissed those charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein’s latest conviction hands a victory to victims of sexual misconduct of famous men in the wake of some legal setbacks, including the dismissal of Bill Cosby’s conviction last year. The rape trial of “That ’70s Show” actor Danny Masterson, held simultaneously and just down the hall from Weinstein’s, ended in a mistrial. And actor Kevin Spacey was victorious at a sexual battery civil trial in New York last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein’s New York conviction survived an initial appeal, but the case is set to be heard by the state’s highest court next year. The California conviction, also likely to be appealed, means he will not walk free even if the East Coast conviction is thrown out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The verdict Monday, following a monthlong trial, represents a victory for the #MeToo movement, some five years after Weinstein became its central figure.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1671502181,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":28,"wordCount":1094},"headData":{"title":"Harvey Weinstein Found Guilty of Rape in Los Angeles Trial | KQED","description":"The verdict Monday, following a monthlong trial, represents a victory for the #MeToo movement, some five years after Weinstein became its central figure.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Harvey Weinstein Found Guilty of Rape in Los Angeles Trial","datePublished":"2022-12-20T02:10:12.000Z","dateModified":"2022-12-20T02:09:41.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"nprByline":"Andrew Dalton\u003cbr>Associated Press","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","showOnAuthorArchivePages":"No","articleAge":"0","path":"/news/11935918/harvey-weinstein-found-guilty-of-rape-in-los-angeles-trial","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Harvey Weinstein was found guilty on Monday of rape at a Los Angeles trial in another #MeToo moment of reckoning, five years after he became a magnet for the movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After deliberating for nine days spanning more than two weeks, the jury of eight men and four women reached the verdict at the second criminal trial of the 70-year-old onetime powerful movie mogul, who is two years into a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13876352/harvey-weinstein-sentenced-to-23-years-in-prison\">23-year sentence for a rape and sexual assault conviction in New York\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein was found guilty of rape, forced oral copulation and another sexual misconduct count involving an Italian model and actor who said he appeared uninvited at her hotel room door during a Los Angeles film festival in 2013.

Just last month, in fact, Weinstein and the board of his bankrupt film studio reached a tentative \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/11/787306873/harvey-weinstein-reaches-tentative-25-million-deal-to-settle-sex-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$47 million deal \u003c/a>to settle their financial obligations—about $25 million of which would be earmarked for the accusers who filed lawsuits against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, which is still subject to approval by a judge, did not include any formal admission of wrongdoing or personal payments from Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Weinstein’s criminal case in Manhattan, the producer has changed lawyers several times during his pretrial preparations. The first of his attorneys, Benjamin Brafman, staged an aggressive defense in the media. He warned that the #MeToo movement, while generally a positive development, also resulted in an unfair rush to judgment in Weinstein’s situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have a #MeToo movement that pressures public officials to take certain action when perhaps it’s not warranted, then it gets to be very, very scary,” he told NPR \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/17/676803400/weinstein-seeks-dismissal-of-sexual-assault-case-in-possible-metoo-setback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in late 2018\u003c/a>, while he was still representing Weinstein. “And I think that’s what happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brafman and Weinstein officially \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2019/01/harvey-weinstein-laywer-leaves-benjamin-brafman-criminal-trial-1202534787/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parted ways\u003c/a> about a month after speaking with NPR.

We have a lot of documentation to back those things up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, before the opposing sides make their cases in court, a jury must be selected to hear those arguments—and that task won’t be easy in a case this well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The issue is not necessarily finding the needle in the haystack—you know, the one person who has never heard of the Weinstein case. The odds of finding such a person are slim to none,” said Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge and author of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nancygertner.com/content/law-juries-6th-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book on jury selection\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that instead, each side likely will be scrutinizing every potential juror for any sign of prejudice, such as strong feelings about the #MeToo movement or Weinstein personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In other words, within the pool of people who have heard about him, there are distinctions to be made,” Gertner added. “And that’s where you have to find a fair jury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process is expected to last about two weeks. The entire trial could last six to eight.

After the producer dropped her off at her apartment in Manhattan, Sciorra says that he reappeared at her door and pushed it open, overpowering and raping her once he had gotten inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident took place too long ago for prosecution under state law, but prosecutors pushed for Sciorra’s testimony to be included anyway over the objections of Weinstein’s legal team—and prosecutors \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/26/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-annabella-sciorra-trial-rape.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got their way\u003c/a>. She will be allowed to take the witness stand to bolster the case that Weinstein committed \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/130.95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">predatory sexual assault\u003c/a>, which carries the longest possible sentence of his charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein, for his part, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, maintaining that everything that he did with these women and others was consensual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the case that heads to trial Monday is Weinstein’s first to include criminal charges, it is by no means the first case against the producer. Just last month, in fact, Weinstein and the board of his bankrupt film studio reached a tentative \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/11/787306873/harvey-weinstein-reaches-tentative-25-million-deal-to-settle-sex-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$47 million deal \u003c/a>to settle their financial obligations—about $25 million of which would be earmarked for the accusers who filed lawsuits against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, which is still subject to approval by a judge, did not include any formal admission of wrongdoing or personal payments from Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Weinstein’s criminal case in Manhattan, the producer has changed lawyers several times during his pretrial preparations. The first of his attorneys, Benjamin Brafman, staged an aggressive defense in the media. He warned that the #MeToo movement, while generally a positive development, also resulted in an unfair rush to judgment in Weinstein’s situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have a #MeToo movement that pressures public officials to take certain action when perhaps it’s not warranted, then it gets to be very, very scary,” he told NPR \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/17/676803400/weinstein-seeks-dismissal-of-sexual-assault-case-in-possible-metoo-setback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in late 2018\u003c/a>, while he was still representing Weinstein. “And I think that’s what happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brafman and Weinstein officially \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2019/01/harvey-weinstein-laywer-leaves-benjamin-brafman-criminal-trial-1202534787/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parted ways\u003c/a> about a month after speaking with NPR. Donna Rotunno, a former prosecutor who joined Weinstein’s legal team \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/11/harvey-weinstein-trial-legal-team-donna-rotunno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last year\u003c/a>, has suggested she plans to pursue a similarly aggressive defense strategy, trying to prove that the women willingly took part in their contact with Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can promise you there is a truth that you have not reported on; we’re here to uncover that truth,” Rotunno explained. “I think it’s going to be obvious that the relationships had with women in this case were quite consensual. We have a lot of documentation to back those things up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, before the opposing sides make their cases in court, a jury must be selected to hear those arguments—and that task won’t be easy in a case this well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The issue is not necessarily finding the needle in the haystack—you know, the one person who has never heard of the Weinstein case. The odds of finding such a person are slim to none,” said Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge and author of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nancygertner.com/content/law-juries-6th-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book on jury selection\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that instead, each side likely will be scrutinizing every potential juror for any sign of prejudice, such as strong feelings about the #MeToo movement or Weinstein personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In other words, within the pool of people who have heard about him, there are distinctions to be made,” Gertner added. “And that’s where you have to find a fair jury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process is expected to last about two weeks. The entire trial could last six to eight.

It refers to acquiring the rights to a story, not in order to publish it, but in order to prevent its publication. Very often this happens with sort of mundane celebrity dirt. The National Enquirer has been doing it for years where they'd have something unflattering about an affair someone had and then withhold publication and scoop up the rights to whatever person's story was gonna be told and on behalf of that person, kill the story, usually in exchange for such and such celebrity will appear on the cover of The National Enquirer or another AMI publication or some other transactional exchange of that nature. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right']'It's the lifeblood of our democracy to have free access to information that can't be fettered by the most connected and wealthy people in this country.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I uncover in the events that unravel in \"Catch and Kill\" is the way in which The Enquirer was engaged in this practice for Harvey Weinstein, which is a story I was able to break later in The New Yorker. And how ultimately that trail of clues led to the top, if you will, to the president's collaborations with The National Enquirer, which were very much of a piece with that. In this book, I reveal several new cases in which there was pretty deep and substantial collaboration between Trump associates and the Enquirer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the connection between Weinstein and Matt Lauer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is about bigger patterns than any one media organization, although it does focus on AMI, the parent company of The National Enquirer, which was one attack dog collaborating with Harvey Weinstein to suppress these allegations. And on NBC News, which also became something of an instrument of suppression on his behalf. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's really about our profession, and the ways in which corporate and legal practices designed to sweep harassment and abuse under the rug, rather than confront it, can create a situation where serial abusers stay in power and where people potentially get hurt. And the democracy suffers because you end up with a situation where news organizations are working at the behest of powerful interests and the truth gets distorted. I talk about how that has ramifications for our political future as well. Obviously, that collaboration between Trump and the National Enquirer wound up being a significant factor in 2016. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On being followed, and other tactics Weinstein used on journalists\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People kind of make the observation that it reads like a spy thriller. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one sense, that can sound like it's a glamorizing characterization, in retrospect. But in another, it's a reminder of how these exotic and underhanded tactics should be reserved for the realm of, you know, John Grisham novels. They should not be directed at real-life reporters trying to break stories. We have the protections of the First Amendment in this country and of our criminal laws. Therefore, I'm careful to have a sense of perspective and note that I was not in the situation that so many journalists in Pakistan or Russia or many other parts of the world are in, where they just wind up dead if they're reporting on powerful interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel it is an important story to tell, to look at the threats that get thrown at not just me, but a whole range of journalists in this plot. And to try to galvanize us all, to say, \"no, enough.\" Powerful people should not be able to manipulate the press in this way and to intimidate journalists in this way. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the stories about Donald Trump that were caught and killed\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donald Trump is a significant subject of the reporting in the book. There's new revelations about the tactics that he used to subvert the press and turn it into an arm of his campaign, essentially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AMI has, since all of these events I've reported on, signed a non-prosecution agreement where they have admitted that this was taking place, that they were collaborating with Trump associates to kill stories, and it is all emblematic of a wider moment of urgency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where, as you say, we have authoritarian rhetoric weaponized against the press. This characterization of us as the enemy of the people where, in fact, journalism is the only explicitly constitutionally protected profession for a reason. And it's the lifeblood of our democracy to have free access to information that can't be fettered by the most connected and wealthy people in this country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is a tribute to, and a love letter to, all the reporters who stand up in the face of that and stay strong, and all the sources who refused to stop talking in the face of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth] \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Hillary Clinton's lack of support\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm very measured about Hillary Clinton's role in the plot of \"Catch and Kill,\" as I am in each aspect of the book. And you know as well as I that anytime you mention Hillary Clinton, it quickly gets transported into partisan headlines and sensationalized a fair bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reality of her role is quite minimal. She was part of a series of interviews that I was doing with every living secretary of state for my previous book, \"War on Peace.\" It is about the chaos at the State Department and the militarization of American foreign policy and the consequences of that around the world. And Hillary Clinton had been extremely supportive of that project and had known about it since I had worked at the State Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a portion of the plot of this book in which the walls are kind of closing in, in a whole number of ways. And I include an anecdote about Hillary Clinton attempting to back out of that interview. It comes after her flak, her spokesperson, Nick Merrill, calling to say, \"We're concerned about this big story you're working on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that really is the totality of the facts, that there's a strange conversation where her team is concerned and has learned at a time when it is supposed to be secret that I'm working on this, that I am working on the story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"harvey-weinstein\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On being an investigative journalist\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do think that good investigative journalism is at the heart of what can break through those conspiracies of silence and that hegemony .... of powerful interests that mutually protect and suppress. And every time I break a story, I'm very moved to say that brave sources continue to come forward. And in the wake of this book coming out, I've been inundated with leads of all sorts of types, including ones that, you know, directly reinforce the reporting in this book. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's never just about me, it's a whole community of reporters that are refusing to stop here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On putting himself in the book\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was uncomfortable.

It refers to acquiring the rights to a story, not in order to publish it, but in order to prevent its publication. Very often this happens with sort of mundane celebrity dirt. The National Enquirer has been doing it for years where they'd have something unflattering about an affair someone had and then withhold publication and scoop up the rights to whatever person's story was gonna be told and on behalf of that person, kill the story, usually in exchange for such and such celebrity will appear on the cover of The National Enquirer or another AMI publication or some other transactional exchange of that nature. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'It's the lifeblood of our democracy to have free access to information that can't be fettered by the most connected and wealthy people in this country.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I uncover in the events that unravel in \"Catch and Kill\" is the way in which The Enquirer was engaged in this practice for Harvey Weinstein, which is a story I was able to break later in The New Yorker. And how ultimately that trail of clues led to the top, if you will, to the president's collaborations with The National Enquirer, which were very much of a piece with that. In this book, I reveal several new cases in which there was pretty deep and substantial collaboration between Trump associates and the Enquirer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the connection between Weinstein and Matt Lauer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is about bigger patterns than any one media organization, although it does focus on AMI, the parent company of The National Enquirer, which was one attack dog collaborating with Harvey Weinstein to suppress these allegations. And on NBC News, which also became something of an instrument of suppression on his behalf. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's really about our profession, and the ways in which corporate and legal practices designed to sweep harassment and abuse under the rug, rather than confront it, can create a situation where serial abusers stay in power and where people potentially get hurt. And the democracy suffers because you end up with a situation where news organizations are working at the behest of powerful interests and the truth gets distorted. I talk about how that has ramifications for our political future as well. Obviously, that collaboration between Trump and the National Enquirer wound up being a significant factor in 2016. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On being followed, and other tactics Weinstein used on journalists\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People kind of make the observation that it reads like a spy thriller. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one sense, that can sound like it's a glamorizing characterization, in retrospect. But in another, it's a reminder of how these exotic and underhanded tactics should be reserved for the realm of, you know, John Grisham novels. They should not be directed at real-life reporters trying to break stories. We have the protections of the First Amendment in this country and of our criminal laws. Therefore, I'm careful to have a sense of perspective and note that I was not in the situation that so many journalists in Pakistan or Russia or many other parts of the world are in, where they just wind up dead if they're reporting on powerful interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel it is an important story to tell, to look at the threats that get thrown at not just me, but a whole range of journalists in this plot. And to try to galvanize us all, to say, \"no, enough.\" Powerful people should not be able to manipulate the press in this way and to intimidate journalists in this way. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the stories about Donald Trump that were caught and killed\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donald Trump is a significant subject of the reporting in the book. There's new revelations about the tactics that he used to subvert the press and turn it into an arm of his campaign, essentially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AMI has, since all of these events I've reported on, signed a non-prosecution agreement where they have admitted that this was taking place, that they were collaborating with Trump associates to kill stories, and it is all emblematic of a wider moment of urgency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where, as you say, we have authoritarian rhetoric weaponized against the press. This characterization of us as the enemy of the people where, in fact, journalism is the only explicitly constitutionally protected profession for a reason. And it's the lifeblood of our democracy to have free access to information that can't be fettered by the most connected and wealthy people in this country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is a tribute to, and a love letter to, all the reporters who stand up in the face of that and stay strong, and all the sources who refused to stop talking in the face of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Hillary Clinton's lack of support\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm very measured about Hillary Clinton's role in the plot of \"Catch and Kill,\" as I am in each aspect of the book. And you know as well as I that anytime you mention Hillary Clinton, it quickly gets transported into partisan headlines and sensationalized a fair bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reality of her role is quite minimal. She was part of a series of interviews that I was doing with every living secretary of state for my previous book, \"War on Peace.\" It is about the chaos at the State Department and the militarization of American foreign policy and the consequences of that around the world.
