THIS WEEK

HARVEY WEINSTEIN The #MeToo movement saw another small – but significant – victory on February 24, with Harvey Weinstein being found guilty after a seven-week trial in New York.

The 67-year-old was convicted of third-degree rape and first-degree criminal sexual act and faces up to 25 years in prison for the charges.

In a joint letter, Ashley Judd and Rosanna Arquette alongside 19 other accusers called it ‘disappointing today’s outcome does not deliver the true, full justice that so many women deserve’, but expressed gratitude towards all the women who came forward to speak out against him. Harvey was taken straight into custody after the trial and will be sentenced on March JUSTICE AT LAST ced on 11.
