Weinstein pleads not guilty to rape as lawyer vows to fi ght NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty to rape and crim- inal sex act charges on Tues- day before a judge in New York, and his lawyer vowed afterward to try to beat the case even before it goes to trial. Weinstein limped from an SUV and was escorted past a big crowd of journal- ists before spending a few minutes answering a series of yes and no questions from the judge asking if he under- stood his rights. A pair of court offi cers stood directly behind him throughout the brief hearing. The former movie mogul didn’t stop to speak with journalists or respond to shouted questions and was back in his waiting SUV in just 40 minutes. His attorney, Ben Brafman, told report- ers the case was “eminently defensible” based on what they have learned about the evidence. “I think today is the fi rst day of this process. We begin our fi ght now,” he said, adding his defense would include trying to force pros- ecutors to drop the case. “If we are successful, there may not be a trial.” A grand jury indicted Weinstein last week on charges involving two women. One of the alleged victims in the criminal case, who has not been identifi ed publicly, told investigators that Wein- stein cornered her in a hotel room and raped her. The other accuser, former actress Lucia Evans, has gone pub- lic with her account of Wein- stein forcing her to perform oral sex at his offi ce in 2004. The Associated Press does not identify alleged vic- tims of sexual assaults unless they come forward publicly. The 66-year-old Wein- stein has denied all allega- tions of nonconsensual sex. Brafman has challenged the credibility of his alleged vic- tims. The lawyer has said the unidentifi ed woman who accused Weinstein of rape had a decade-long, consen- sual sexual relationship that continued after the alleged 2013 attack. “As terrible as the crime of rape is, it is equally rep- rehensible to be falsely accused,” Brafman said. Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s offi ce reportedly met pri- vately with a third woman on Monday after she and two other plaintiffs fi led a lawsuit against Weinstein. According to the suit, Melissa Thompson had a 2011 business meeting that ended with Weinstein hold- ing her down and raping her in a Manhattan hotel room. Through her law fi rm, Thompson said she was comfortable with being named publicly. In court, Brafman seized on the report about the meet- ing as further proof that his client was the victim of a series of unfair and dam- aging leaks by authorities. Prosecutor Joan Illuzzi told the judge that the informa- tion came from her offi ce. Manhattan District Attor- ney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. has said it was predictable that Weinstein’s camp would attack the integrity of the women and the legal system.
