Weinstein was charged with rape and ordered to wear an electronic bracelet
The notorious Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein voluntarily surrendered to the police of New York.
He was charged with raping one woman and forcing the other to oral sex, writes “Lenta.ru«.
At the same time at least eight women have reported rape committed by a Hollywood magnate, but there is not enough evidence to bring charges in all these cases.
The names of the victims are not disclosed, and it is not yet known whose evidence provoked the arrest. It is known that we are talking about cases that occurred in 2013 and 2004; Sources report that one of the victims is actress Lucia Evans.
Weinstein was taken into custody on May 25, appearing to the police voluntarily. A few hours after the arrest, the producer was released on bail of a million dollars. The producer was obliged to wear an electronic bracelet that tracks his movement.
In addition to the police in New York, separate investigations into Weinstein are conducted in London and Los Angeles. Rather, he will be charged with other rape and sexual assault charges. In New York, for the first time, filmmakers face imprisonment from 5 to 25 years of imprisonment, for the second to 4 years. In Los Angeles, the times are much shorter: up to 8 and up to 3 years, respectively. In the UK, rape can be lifelong.
Recall earlier American producer Harvey Weinstein was in the middle of a scandal: Dozens of actresses and former female employees accused him of sexual harassment. After the producer was exposed, a wave of confessions of victims of harassment from other stars began, in particular, the accusations fell Kevin Spacey, Donald Hofffman, Steven Seagal and others.
