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.
