Photo: JEENAH MOON/Getty Images On Monday, February 24, disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape. Specifically, he was found guilty of committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree, but not guilty on charges of predatory sexual assault and first-degree rape. He now faces a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 29.
Weinstein is not facing any counts in Sciorra’s case, which is considered an “aggravating” or “underlying” crime that can be used to establish a pattern of behavior. “He pushed me down. He held me down by my arms … ‘No, stay, like that’ … and I said, ‘No, no,’ and at that time I started realizing what was actually happening and I thought … This is being raped,” she testified.
Weinstein is charged with one count of criminal sexual act and predatory sexual assault involving Haleyi. Wulff explained that she subsequently got a call from someone at Weinstein’s company about meeting with a casting director. When she got to Weinstein’s office for what she believed was an audition, however, she said she was shuttled into a car that took her to his Crosby Street apartment. Wulff alleged that Weinstein held her arms and laid her on the bed while she herself felt “numb.”
After these events, Mann said she “made the decision to be in a relationship with [Weinstein],” noting later that she “was sexual with very few people” and “entered into what I thought was going to be a real relationship with him — and it was extremely degrading from that point on.” “He threw me down on the edge of the bed, and he was demanding that I take off my clothes, and I was begging him,” she said while crying. “He stood over me, and he said, ‘Take off your clothes,’ again, and I said, ‘No,’ again … And he said, ‘I don’t have time for games,’ and he lunged at me with both hands and they went into my pants, and he ripped my pants so hard and so fast off of me that I had three scratches down each leg, from the top of my thighs to the top of my knee.
