Time’s Up has celebrated the decision to investigate the prosecutors who decided not to bring a sexual assault case against Harvey Weinstein. Time’s Up on Monday called for the politician to launch an independent investigation into Manhattan district attorney Cyrus R Vance Jr’s decision over the 2015 incident. Time’s Up said a report in the New York magazine that Weinstein could have had influence of the district attorney’s office were “particularly disturbing and merit investigation”. The recent revelations about sexual assault and harassment pervasive in our society are most disturbing. “It is of great concern that sexual assault cases have not been pursued with full vigour by our criminal justice system,” he said.
