The video, which now has over 94,000 views, was made by a recent alum, Natalie Brooks, about the school’s #MeToo movement. The piece included a link to the documentary.

My main concern is to make sure that our students are getting the resources they need to heal and be supported and making sure that students aren't ever put in these positions in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swett said the allegations made online were mostly made anonymously or by people who had not experienced the abuse firsthand and were difficult to substantiate. She said no current students at Lowell had been punished for allegations made on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hines-Foster said the pandemic made it easier for people to share their stories without needing to worry about confronting classmates or their friends in person. Some students said they turned to social media because they didn’t feel taken seriously when they reported harassment or other abuse to administrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Administrators Grapple With Allegations\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“What I hear in young people going to social media to tell their stories is that the system has failed them, that they don't see it as a system that's going to support them,” said Emma Mayerson, executive director of Oakland-based Alliance for Girls. “They're saying, ‘You are not helping me, so I'm going to get my voice heard one way or another.’ And social media is a way to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reported incidents of sexual violence in K-12 schools around the country increased by about 55% from the 2015-2016 to 2017-2018 school years, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/sexual-violence.pdf?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey data\u003c/a> released in October by the U.S Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.

District officials declined an interview request, but SFUSD spokesperson Laura Dudnick issued a statement that said, “SFUSD wants all students to feel like their concerns are taken seriously.

She said some of the allegations posted online this summer referenced incidents off campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Complications of Social Media Campaigns\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Creating and maintaining unofficial platforms for posting accusations has also proven complicated for the young people taking on this issue themselves. There has been trolling and threats of retaliation. Others collecting stories of abuse struggled to vet the influx of allegations sent their way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Instagram account, @dearSFUSD, was set up in June for students to share their experiences anonymously until posts were taken down over concerns about false allegations and defamation lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sadly, some people have seen the posts of survivors speaking out as an opportunity to use the court of public opinion for their own personal agenda,” a June 19 statement from the account said, which also encouraged people to believe what survivors are posting. “Their experiences ARE valid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Posting allegations online can spread awareness about abuse and inspire solidarity, but there are also drawbacks to bypassing official systems, said Deborah Tuerkheimer, a law professor at Northwestern University who has \u003ca href=\"https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3366126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">studied\u003c/a> the impact of using social media to report abuse in the wake of the #MeToo movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Informal reporting doesn’t provide process for the people accused,” she said. “That can be overstated as a worry and weaponized by people who want accusers to remain silent. At the same time, process has value. When these allegations are brought only in informal channels and only in the court of public opinion, I think something important is lost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Pushing for Structural Change\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Justine Orgel, a senior at Lowell, said her focus is less about targeting perpetrators and more about showing support for victims. She said she was sexually assaulted by a student a few years ago, and that’s part of the reason she felt motivated to speak out on behalf of her peers. After she saw allegations posted online about a current student she knew, she felt obligated to push for action from the school district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She began drafting emails to high school and college administrators. She researched Title IX and the district’s policy around harassment and assault. In these emails, she defined sexual harassment, referenced board policies and Title IX, and argued that allowing people with “predatory habits” to “roam campus unscathed is a safety risk.” She called on schools to keep a record of the allegations and consider consequences for perpetrators, like suspension or barring them from sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11859418\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11859418\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Justine Orgel poses for a portrait at Lowell High School in San Francisco on Jan. 9, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But many of those allegations, Orgel acknowledged, were outside the school district’s ability to address.

I want people to find peace, and I want them to have faith that their communities believe them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orgel posted the email template on her Instagram page so that other students could email it to administrators as well. Then she went to sleep, waking up a few hours later to a barrage of messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My Instagram was just super flooded,” Orgel said. She’d received hundreds of messages of thanks. “I'm the type of person where I hate not getting something done, especially when someone is counting on me. I just felt like such a sense of urgency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, Lowell Principal Swett sent an email to students that outlined steps the school had taken to educate and prevent sexual harassment on campus, such as awareness campaigns, training for teachers and programs to educate students about healthy relationships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish that I had as much power as kids think I have,” Swett said. “I am very sorry that anyone has ever been hurt. It’s not fair, and we do our best to try to mitigate all of that. I have spent a tremendous amount of my time simply responding to people’s bad behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Finding Support Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even if the school district is unable to do anything about it, some students say sharing their stories and finding support online has helped them in other ways. Xufei Zhao, who graduated from Galileo Academy of Science and Technology in San Francisco last spring, said a few years ago she was sexually assaulted by a family member, a student at Lowell High School. She had no idea what to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it happened, a lot was going on in my mind. I was like, what do I do? Am I supposed to talk to him first? Am I supposed to tell my parents? Am I supposed to file a report? Am I supposed to ... hide it from everybody until I die?” she said, remembering the shame she felt at the time. She bought a lock for her bedroom door so she could hide when the relative came over for family gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11859421\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11859421\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/144581126_177955346994097_8481618358854499444_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/144581126_177955346994097_8481618358854499444_n.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/144581126_177955346994097_8481618358854499444_n-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/144581126_177955346994097_8481618358854499444_n-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/144581126_177955346994097_8481618358854499444_n-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/144581126_177955346994097_8481618358854499444_n-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Xufei Zhao, a recent graduate of the Galileo Academy of Science and Technology high school in San Francisco, says it felt like a weight had been lifted after she posted about her experience of assault online. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Xufei Zhao)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>KQED is unable to verify the allegations and is not naming the alleged perpetrator.

He also tried to contact a student who’d posted about him via social media through another student, despite being directed not to do so. He’d used a picture of a student in his class without permission, unnecessarily touched students, teased them and made unwelcome comments about a student’s appearance, according to the memo. This time, Michels received a written reprimand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over two phone interviews and a series of emails, Michels denied ever harassing or inappropriately touching students. He said he had used students’ photos in presentations for years without any complaints until the last school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he now has a good working relationship with the colleague who complained, which he said stemmed from a dispute over music.

The effort empowered current and former students to call for systemic change while curating and promoting allegations on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates and survivors nationwide had spontaneously created accounts over the summer to share hundreds of stories of abuse experienced while they were in high school. Many of the people behind these grassroots efforts say the COVID-19 pandemic left them with more time and space to reflect on trauma they had experienced as teenagers.

The fact is that I was and have been part of the problem, especially by not speaking out for my bad actions sooner. I have sought counseling and therapy for a lot of my issues, such as control and anger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One woman, who graduated from Lowell in 2014, spoke on the condition of anonymity over fears that she or her family may be physically harmed in retaliation. She said Fujita sexually assaulted her in his car when she was a junior, and she felt waves of anxiety for years just seeing cars that looked like his.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing her experience on social media made her feel less alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I almost felt relieved. Maybe there was no real reason to be scared,” she said. “Hopefully we can head towards a future where we don't have to call someone out because it's normal now to not rape and assault people. And I hate that it has to come to this. But I think these changes need to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>More Students Speak Out\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Several alumni who spoke with KQED said the elite reputation of Lowell contributed to an environment where students did not trust administrators to take their allegations seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are a top-tier public school in the state of California. We exist in progressive, liberal San Francisco. That definitely led to a culture where students who experience these issues weren't comfortable coming forward,” Weiss said. “We were a school that was very concerned with reputation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after the allegations against Fujita were posted, more alumni began posting about their experiences at Lowell. Shavonne Hines-Foster, a senior at Lowell, said that soon opened the floodgates for current San Francisco students to speak out on Twitter and Instagram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That served as a catalyst for everything else,” she said. “Students came forward about their experiences with racism, sexual assault, harassment and mental health at Lowell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11859782\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11859782\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Shavonne-Hines-Foster-1.jpg\" alt=\"Shavonne Hines-Foster poses for a photo at Lowell High School in San Francisco on Jan. 29, 2021.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Shavonne-Hines-Foster-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Shavonne-Hines-Foster-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Shavonne-Hines-Foster-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Shavonne-Hines-Foster-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Shavonne-Hines-Foster-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shavonne Hines-Foster poses for a photo at Lowell High School in San Francisco on Jan. 29, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At least four current San Francisco students, 12 alumni, two teachers and a former dean have been accused online of sexual misconduct since the summer. Hines-Foster used her Instagram account to share and amplify students' stories, and her role as a San Francisco Unified School District student delegate to bring these posts to the district’s attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowell Principal Swett said she reached out to students who posted online when possible, and also offered students who had faced allegations counseling services and support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As an educator who deeply cares for all students, I am very saddened that these things take place to begin with,” Swett said. “There are limits to what I can reveal to people because of privacy acts and things like that. My main concern is to make sure that our students are getting the resources they need to heal and be supported and making sure that students aren't ever put in these positions in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swett said the allegations made online were mostly made anonymously or by people who had not experienced the abuse firsthand and were difficult to substantiate. She said no current students at Lowell had been punished for allegations made on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hines-Foster said the pandemic made it easier for people to share their stories without needing to worry about confronting classmates or their friends in person. Some students said they turned to social media because they didn’t feel taken seriously when they reported harassment or other abuse to administrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Administrators Grapple With Allegations\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“What I hear in young people going to social media to tell their stories is that the system has failed them, that they don't see it as a system that's going to support them,” said Emma Mayerson, executive director of Oakland-based Alliance for Girls. “They're saying, ‘You are not helping me, so I'm going to get my voice heard one way or another.’ And social media is a way to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reported incidents of sexual violence in K-12 schools around the country increased by about 55% from the 2015-2016 to 2017-2018 school years, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/sexual-violence.pdf?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey data\u003c/a> released in October by the U.S Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. That same data shows California has the ninth highest rates of reported incidents of rape or attempted rape in schools nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The increase in reported allegations may reflect under-reporting in 2015-16, an increased sensitivity to this issue in 2017-18, or an actual increase in incidents of sexual violence from 2015-16 to 2017-18,” the report says, noting that while overall rates of alleged sexual assault are low, “the seriousness of this violence merits attention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terence Abad, executive director of the Lowell Alumni Association, says he received nearly 60 emails over a matter of days this summer from alumni and others asking the school to respond to the online allegations. District officials declined an interview request, but SFUSD spokesperson Laura Dudnick issued a statement that said, “SFUSD wants all students to feel like their concerns are taken seriously. The Office of Equity monitored the online activity all summer, and beyond, and made efforts to reach out to every student who had posted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘Hopefully we can head towards a future where we don't have to call someone out because it's normal now to not rape and assault people.

She said some of the allegations posted online this summer referenced incidents off campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Complications of Social Media Campaigns\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Creating and maintaining unofficial platforms for posting accusations has also proven complicated for the young people taking on this issue themselves. There has been trolling and threats of retaliation. Others collecting stories of abuse struggled to vet the influx of allegations sent their way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Instagram account, @dearSFUSD, was set up in June for students to share their experiences anonymously until posts were taken down over concerns about false allegations and defamation lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sadly, some people have seen the posts of survivors speaking out as an opportunity to use the court of public opinion for their own personal agenda,” a June 19 statement from the account said, which also encouraged people to believe what survivors are posting. “Their experiences ARE valid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Posting allegations online can spread awareness about abuse and inspire solidarity, but there are also drawbacks to bypassing official systems, said Deborah Tuerkheimer, a law professor at Northwestern University who has \u003ca href=\"https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3366126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">studied\u003c/a> the impact of using social media to report abuse in the wake of the #MeToo movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Informal reporting doesn’t provide process for the people accused,” she said. “That can be overstated as a worry and weaponized by people who want accusers to remain silent. At the same time, process has value. When these allegations are brought only in informal channels and only in the court of public opinion, I think something important is lost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Pushing for Structural Change\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Justine Orgel, a senior at Lowell, said her focus is less about targeting perpetrators and more about showing support for victims. She said she was sexually assaulted by a student a few years ago, and that’s part of the reason she felt motivated to speak out on behalf of her peers. After she saw allegations posted online about a current student she knew, she felt obligated to push for action from the school district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She began drafting emails to high school and college administrators. She researched Title IX and the district’s policy around harassment and assault. In these emails, she defined sexual harassment, referenced board policies and Title IX, and argued that allowing people with “predatory habits” to “roam campus unscathed is a safety risk.” She called on schools to keep a record of the allegations and consider consequences for perpetrators, like suspension or barring them from sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11859418\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11859418\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS46522_012_SanFrancisco_LowellHS_Justine_01092021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Justine Orgel poses for a portrait at Lowell High School in San Francisco on Jan. 9, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But many of those allegations, Orgel acknowledged, were outside the school district’s ability to address. Some concerned alleged off-campus assaults, and most emails to the district about these incidents were sent by people without firsthand knowledge of the alleged incidents, according to Dudnick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sucks to say this, but there's very little the school districts can do,” Orgel said. “But I want structural change. I want people to find peace, and I want them to have faith that their communities believe them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orgel posted the email template on her Instagram page so that other students could email it to administrators as well. Then she went to sleep, waking up a few hours later to a barrage of messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My Instagram was just super flooded,” Orgel said. She’d received hundreds of messages of thanks. “I'm the type of person where I hate not getting something done, especially when someone is counting on me. I just felt like such a sense of urgency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, Lowell Principal Swett sent an email to students that outlined steps the school had taken to educate and prevent sexual harassment on campus, such as awareness campaigns, training for teachers and programs to educate students about healthy relationships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish that I had as much power as kids think I have,” Swett said. “I am very sorry that anyone has ever been hurt. It’s not fair, and we do our best to try to mitigate all of that. I have spent a tremendous amount of my time simply responding to people’s bad behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Finding Support Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even if the school district is unable to do anything about it, some students say sharing their stories and finding support online has helped them in other ways. Xufei Zhao, who graduated from Galileo Academy of Science and Technology in San Francisco last spring, said a few years ago she was sexually assaulted by a family member, a student at Lowell High School.

An unnamed colleague had complained that Michels made her uncomfortable and affected her ability to work in the same classroom as him. An unspecified number of students also complained about the teacher’s behavior that fall, which they alleged ranged from sarcasm to intimidation, condescending remarks and use of sexual innuendo, according to the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michels “appeared responsive” according to the December 2019 memo, which says he received a verbal reprimand. But less than a year later, he would again face discipline for similar behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an Aug. 11, 2020 interview with administrators, Michels admitted to following several of his current students on social media, according to a follow-up disciplinary memo. He also tried to contact a student who’d posted about him via social media through another student, despite being directed not to do so. He’d used a picture of a student in his class without permission, unnecessarily touched students, teased them and made unwelcome comments about a student’s appearance, according to the memo. This time, Michels received a written reprimand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over two phone interviews and a series of emails, Michels denied ever harassing or inappropriately touching students. He said he had used students’ photos in presentations for years without any complaints until the last school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he now has a good working relationship with the colleague who complained, which he said stemmed from a dispute over music. He also said the school should have told the student who turned to Instagram over the summer the outcome of her original complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She felt like she wasn't heard by me or the administration, that it had just been swept under the rug, and it’s not true,” Michels said. “I almost feel as though the whole post could have been avoided if there had been some process where she felt some completion or resolution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘What I hear in young people going to social media to tell their stories is that the system has failed them, that they don't see it as a system that's going to support them.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Emma Mayerson, executive director of Oakland-based Alliance for Girls","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Principal Swett said the school was able to inform the student her concerns had been addressed after Michels’ inappropriate behavior had continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After seeing the Instagram post, an alum who graduated in 2015 wrote in a testimony for the district’s investigation that Michels also harassed her in class and online.

I compliment students and I tease them sometimes, but it is in front of 35 other students, and I have never sexually harassed anyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three Lowell students and alumni told KQED that while they enjoyed his class and thought Michels did not intend to cause harm, they could also understand how some would find his sense of humor inappropriate.

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. If Weinstein is convicted on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/70.00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he faces\u003c/a> a minimum sentence of 10 to 25 years in prison or a maximum of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

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. If Weinstein is convicted on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/70.00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he faces\u003c/a> a minimum sentence of 10 to 25 years in prison or a maximum of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.
