Harvey Weinstein: Three more women make serious allegations
Apart from the indictment of Harvey Weinstein, 66 already brought by a New York court, a new class action lawsuit has been filed against the former film producer. One of the other three women claims to have been raped by the 66-year-old, after giving a presentation in his office for a startup idea. So it reports the US side "Variety".
Melissa Thompson, the woman's name, claims to have been lured into the hotel room after Weinstein's performance. There he finally passed her by. Already during the presentation he had touched her immoral, but with the promise to agree to the deal, finally persuaded her to make a fatal trip to the hotel room. What Weinstein could legally break his neck: Allegedly, his abuses were randomly recorded by the computer of the alleged victim during the presentation. Better evidence could probably wish no prosecutor.
Did Weinstein's lawyers owe their guilt?
But that's not the end of the story. Allegedly, Thompson had handed over this evidence last fall to the law firm of a certain Benjamin Brafman. Unaware that Weinstein is one of his clients. If history turns out to be true and evidence has been purposely withheld, not only Weinstein's already uncertain future would be at stake.
The other two women in the class action lawsuit, actresses Caitlin Dulany and Larissa Gomes, are also heavily accused. At Dulany Weinstein had passed against her will oral. Gomes on the other hand prompted to bare her breasts. When she refused, he threatened to destroy her career.
At a court in New York, Weinstein is already responsible for rape in two cases, in a conviction threaten the former film mogul up to 25 years in prison.
