Jurors are deliberating in Harvey Weinstein's retrial, facing charges of criminal sex acts and rape involving three different accusers. This trial is significant as it highlights the ongoing repercussions of the #MeToo movement, which initially surged after allegations against Weinstein became public nearly eight years ago. The case follows Weinstein's earlier conviction, which was overturned, necessitating a new trial. Prosecutor Nicole Blumberg emphasized the predatory nature of Weinstein's actions during her closing argument, asserting that he exploited women's ambitions within the entertainment industry.
"They all had dreams of pursuing careers in the defendant's world, the entertainment industry," prosecutor Nicole Blumberg told jurors in her closing argument Tuesday.
"He was going to have their bodies and touch their bodies whether they wanted him to or not," was a stark assertion made by prosecutor Nicole Blumberg.
