By AFPMore by this AuthorFallen movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was expected to plead innocent Tuesday to rape and sexual assault charges in New York, opening a legal battle for the #MeToo movement that dreams of seeing him behind bars. But nearly a hundred have said since October they were harassed or sexually abused by Weinstein over several decades. His past clients include former IMF boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who escaped criminal prosecution for alleged sexual assault in 2011. Brafman said the rape complaint came from a woman who had a 10-year affair with Weinstein, but the information was not confirmed. The prosecutor will still have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Weinstein committed illegal acts, and with these two women specifically.
