“his story, at its core, is about work, and it can’t be measured by a criminal court.” – The New York Times.
Let us examine the number of incidents of assault that would qualify Harvey Weinstein to be referred to as a sexual assaulter.
Harvey Weinstein, a powerful film producer, has faced allegations of sexual assault and harassment by over 100 women since 2011. |
At least eight women have received settlements from Mr. Weinstein after he was accused of sexual harassment and unwanted physical contact, according to two company officials who wished to remain anonymous. Here’s how this story emerged.
Let’s examine the allegations individually:

A 25-year-old British actress from “Strike: The Cuckoo’s Calling” disclosed that the disgraced movie mogul acted inappropriately during a hotel meeting when she was 20.
“He told me not to tell anyone I was alone with him, told me if I did it might affect my “opportunities”.”
Anderson says that Weinstein touched her leg, and she left the room immediately.
