Weinstein Lawyers Look To Have Indictment Dismissed, Citing Emails

Description

According to a report by Reuters, disgraced movie-mogul Harvey Weinstein's lawyers asked a New York judge to dismiss rape and sexual assault charges after releasing emails between their client and one of his accusers that they claim were not shown to the grand jury that indicted him. Reuters reports that Weinstein has denied having non-consensual sex with anyone following accusations by more than 70 women, mostly young actresses and other women employed in the movie business, of decades of sexual abuse, including rape. Weinstein’s lawyers reportedly claimed that the emails reveal “a long-term, consensual, intimate relationship” between Weinstein and an unnamed woman who has accused him of raping her in 2013.
