Allred on Weinstein verdict: Women were believed

(24 Feb 2020) ALLRED ON WEINSTEIN VERDICT: WOMEN WERE BELIEVED Attorney Gloria Allred says "the age of empowerment of women" is here, and men like Harvey Weinstein shouldn't be surprised to face criminal consequences for their actions. Allred, who represents multiple Weinstein accusers, told journalists outside Manhattan court that she was thrilled with the guilty verdict because "women were believed." And she had a message for victims of sexual violence who have yet to come forward: "If you are a victim of rape or sexual abuse or sexual assault, please know that this is a new day for victims of gender violence. Law enforcement is now beginning to believe you. Juries are beginning to believe you and to convict. So, just have courage. This is a new day. Justice may be coming for you as well, "she said. Harvey Weinstein was convicted Monday (24 FEB. 2020) at his sexual assault trial, sealing his dizzying fall from powerful Hollywood studio boss to archvillain of the #MeToo movement. The verdict followed weeks of often harrowing and excruciatingly graphic testimony from a string of accusers who told of rapes, forced oral sex, groping, masturbation, lewd propositions and that's-Hollywood excuses from Weinstein about how the casting couch works. The conviction was seen as a long-overdue reckoning for Weinstein after years of whispers about his behavior turned into a torrent of accusations in 2017 that destroyed his career and gave rise to #MeToo, the global movement to encourage women to come forward and hold powerful men accountable for their sexual misconduct.
