Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty on one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault at his sex crimes trial in Los Angeles on Monday
In his opening statement, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson made no mention of Jane Doe 5, leading many to speculate she might be dropped from the case. On Nov. 15, prosecutors confirmed she would not appear. They subsequently scratched the four counts related to her allegations Weinstein raped her on two separate occasions a year apart in Beverly Hills.
“There is no question that Harvey Weinstein was a predator,” Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Marlene Martinez said in her closing argument on Nov. 30 “For this predator, hotels were his trap. Confined within those walls victims were not able to run from his hulking mass. People were not able to hear their screams, they were not able to see them cower.”
“You’re the wife of the governor of California at the time and you’re about to meet with the police and a deputy DA, and you didn’t think that the consequence of what you said was that you would be a victim in an indictment in a criminal indictment,” Werksman asked.
