Former Hollywood film mogul says he was 'totally confused' by the case
CBC News
Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 23 years in prison following his conviction last month for rape and sexual assault, a stunning conclusion to the meteoric fall of the former Hollywood heavyweight.
New York Judge James Burke delivered the sentence to the Oscar-winning producer of films like Shakespeare in Love, The King's Speech and Pulp Fiction in a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday.
Last month, a jury convicted Weinstein, 67, of third-degree rape against former actress Jessica Mann and a first-degree criminal sex act against former production assistant Miriam Haley, who changed her surname from Haleyi after first going public about Weinstein.
Both women were present Wednesday to deliver victim impact statements.
"Rape is not just one moment of penetration. It is forever," Mann said.
"I believe that if Harvey Weinstein was not convicted by this jury, it would happen again and again and again," noted Haley.

Joining the two women in the front row of the courtroom were the other four women who had testified during the trial about being assaulted by Weinstein: Tarale Wulff, Dawn Dunning, Lauren Young and Annabella Sciorra.
Weinstein had faced a maximum of 29 years in prison, and Burke's decision reflected the higher range of New York's sentencing guidelines. The disgraced producer received three years for the rape conviction (which carried a maximum sentence of four years) and 20 years for the sexual assault conviction (which held a sentencing range of between five and 25 years).
"Although this is a first conviction, this is not a first offence," Burke said before revealing the sentence.
The ruling marks a significant milestone for the #MeToo movement, the global reckoning over sexual harassment and abuse that was burned into public consciousness starting in fall 2017 after bombshell exposés alleging widespread sexual misconduct by Weinstein.
"Harvey Weinstein's legacy will always be that he's a convicted rapist. He is going to jail — but no amount of jail time will repair the lives he ruined, the careers he destroyed, or the damage he has caused," the Silence Breakers, a group of dozens of women who have accused the former producer of sexual misconduct, said in a statement Wednesday morning.
Time's Up, a charitable group founded in early 2018 in response to the flood of allegations against Weinstein and focused on supporting victims of sexual harassment and assault, praised the "courage and strength" of the women who testified in the New York case and extended the sentiment to the many others who have also accused him of misconduct.
"We can only hope that today's sentence brings all of the survivors of Harvey Weinstein some measure of peace," Tina Tchen, president of the Time's Up Foundation, said in a statement.
"We also hope that these women take pride in knowing the impact they have had on our culture at large. Whether by inspiring more survivors to come forward and seek help, changing how the justice system responds to sexual violence, or leading corporate boards to hold more CEOs accountable for toxic workplace culture, the social change catalyzed by these survivors has been nothing short of transformational."
'Wonderful times'
Though he declined to take the stand during the trial, Weinstein made a rambling statement toward the end of the sentencing hearing, saying that he felt "remorse" over his situation. But he also noted that he felt "totally confused" by the case sending him to prison since he had fond memories of "friendships" with his accusers.
"I had wonderful times with these people," he said.
Weinstein also made a jab at the current climate surrounding men accused of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct. "I'm worried about this country" he said. "This is not the right atmosphere in the United States of America."
Narcissistic misogynists see absolutely nothing wrong with using their influence to turn decent girls or women into little more than prostitutes. "You scratch my back, or front, and I'll make you a star!" These are the kinds of people in Hollywood from whom generations of Americans have learned their morals. Is it any wonder the country, and the whole western world, is in such a moral abyss?
Weinstein had used a walker throughout the recent trial and arrived at court in a wheelchair on Wednesday. He spent more than a week after his conviction in hospital due to a variety of medical issues and, last week, had a stent placed to unblock an artery.
After the hearing, defence lawyer Donna Rotunno noted that during that heart procedure, doctors found "other issues" but declined to give further details. Along with confirming that an appeal would be filed, she also blasted the judge for his harsh sentence and suggested he felt "some type of pressure" due to the #MeToo movement.
"Judge Burke was already prepared to say and do whatever he [wanted] …. Mr. Weinstein never had a fair shake from Day 1," she told reporters.
Weinstein, who had been held at New York's Rikers Island jail, will now be taken into the custody of the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, where officials will evaluate and determine in which prison he will serve his sentence.
He will be required to register as a sex offender under New York law.
'Women are no longer going to suffer in silence'
For years a prominent fixture at Hollywood award shows for producing or distributing a host of acclaimed films, Weinstein also now faces four criminal charges in another of his former stomping ground, Los Angeles.
The charges — including rape and sexual battery — relate to two separate incidents alleged to have taken place in February 2013, the same week as that year's Oscars.
The 23-year sentence is "long enough for [Weinstein] to at least begin to understand what he has done," said attorney Gloria Allred, who represents Haley as well as accusers Sciorra and Young.
"I will see him again in Los Angeles … I have every reason to believe there will be a speedy attempt to extradite him," she added, referring to the West Coast case.
"We are living in an age where women are no longer going to suffer in silence," Allred told reporters outside the Manhattan courthouse following the hearing.
"I'm feeling it in many places around the world. Women are going to speak out and seek justice … in every world where they walk. And they're going to demand respect and dignity and justice — because justice has been far behind in meeting the needs and rights of women."
Hachette cancels Woody Allen memoir
following staff walkout

Woody Allen's publisher has decided to cancel the planned release of his memoir Apropos of Nothing.
The announcement Friday by Hachette Book Group followed days of criticism focused on allegations that Allen sexually abused his daughter Dylan Farrow. On Thursday, dozens of Hachette employees staged a walkout.
"The decision to cancel Mr. Allen's book was a difficult one. At HBG we take our relationships with authors very seriously, and do not cancel books lightly," the publisher announced.
"We have published and will continue to publish many challenging books. As publishers, we make sure every day in our work that different voices and conflicting points of views can be heard."
Allen has denied any wrongdoing and was never charged after two separate investigations in the 1990s. But the allegations have received new attention in the #MeToo era.
Allen's agreement with Hachette meant that he briefly shared a publisher with one of his biggest detractors, his son Ronan Farrow, whose Catch and Kill was released last year by the Hachette division Little, Brown and Company. Catch and Kill was an exposé of sexual abusers and the powerful people who cover up for them.
"Hachette's publishing of Woody Allen's memoir is deeply upsetting to me personally and an utter betrayal of my brother whose brave reporting, capitalized on by Hachette, gave voice to numerous survivors of sexual assault by powerful men," Dylan Farrow said in a statement Monday, hours after details of the book were released by The Associated Press.
Ronan Farrow followed up a day later, calling Hachette's decision "wildly unprofessional." Both he and his sister complained that the publisher had not reached out to fact-check their father's book.
Actress found dead months after hinting at alleged paedophile ring
Natacha Jaitt claimed to have proof of a VIP paedophile ring.
Months later, she was found dead - after warning her life was at risk

A former Big Brother star has died under mysterious circumstances shortly after making explosive claims linking a number of celebrities to paedophilia.
Argentinian-born Natacha Jaitt’s naked body was found over the weekend following a house party in Buenos Aires.
Local media report there was evidence of drug use found at the scene — but in an eerie twist, the socialite and former Playboy model seems to have predicted her own death just months earlier.
In April last year, the 41-year-old took to Twitter to claim her life was at risk after receiving unspecified threats.
“WARNING: I am not going to commit suicide, I am not going to take too much cocaine and drown in a bath, or shoot myself. So if this happens, IT WASN’T ME. Save this tweet,” she wrote in Spanish, according to the Buenos Aires Times.
The alarming tweet was published after Ms Jaitt accused a number of well-known public figures — including politicians, journalists, entertainers and sports stars from several big-name clubs — of being involved in underage prostitution earlier that year on live TV.
She is also believed to have implicated a close friend of Pope Francis in the alleged paedophile ring.
According to the Buenos Aires Times, there are now “unconfirmed reports” the mother-of-two consumed “excessive amounts of cocaine, LSD and champagne” on Friday — the night she attended the event with a friend.

Ms Jaitt, who appeared in the sixth season of Big Brother Spain in 2004 and who also featured in Playboy magazine, had attended the party with her friend Raul Duarte, 49.
The pair had planned to meet property owner Guillermo Riconi, 47, in relation to a possible business deal.
But while local news outlets have reported autopsy results showed Ms Jaitt suffered multiple organ failure with no sign of violence, her brother claims she wouldn’t have taken drugs as they would have reacted to medication she had just started taking.
He and Ms Jaitt’s lawyer are convinced the death was likely murder and not an overdose, and police are now investigating the case and interviewing other people who were at the party with the actress.
Ms Jaitt, who rose to fame after leaving Argentina for Spain with just $10 to her name, survived a violent mugging that led to her being stabbed in the neck by a teenage criminal in 2016.
And in recent months, she also claimed to have been raped as well as receiving threats on her life.
Conspiracy theories relating to her mysterious death have run wild on social media, with scores of Reddit users arguing Ms Jaitt’s ominous April 2018 tweet was likely “proof” she hadn’t overdosed.
“She knew the risk she was putting herself at. I’m not a big conspiracy person but … are we really expected to believe that she uncovered this and then just mysteriously killed herself?” one Reddit user asked, while another added: “It must be hard to have info about something so serious yet so sensitive that people might not believe you and if they do you might be killed for it. The world seems like it’s just getting darker and darker.”
Reddit users also claimed pictures of Ms Jaitt’s naked body had been posted online shortly after her death before being hastily deleted.
FBI files allege Lord Mountbatten, murdered by the IRA, was a pedophile

Throughout Lord Mountbatten's life, and in the years after he died in an IRA bombing on August 27, 1979, rumors swirled about his extramarital affairs. An FBI dossier on Mountbatten, released in 2019, thanks to a Freedom of Information request, reveals shocking information about the royal who was a mentor to his grand-nephew Prince Charles.
The 75-year-old intelligence files describe Louis Mountbatten, the 1st Earl of Burma, and his wife Edwina as "persons of extremely low morals" and contain information suggesting that Lord Mountbatten was a pedophile with "a perversion for young boys."

American intelligence officers began compiling the dossier in 1944, after Mountbatten was named supreme allied commander of southeast Asia. They were obtained via an FOI request by British historian Andrew Lownie, whose book, The Mountbattens: Their Lives & Loves, will be published on August 22.
When the Baroness Decies, Elizabeth de la Poer Beresford, was being interviewed by the FBI about another topic, she raised concerns about Lord Mountbatten.
Per the Sunday Times:
The file reads: "She states that in these circles Lord Louis Mountbatten and his wife are considered persons of extremely low morals.
"She stated that Lord Louis Mountbatten was known to be a homosexual with a perversion for young boys.
"In Lady Decies' opinion he is an unfit man to direct any sort of military operations because of this condition. She stated further that his wife Lady Mountbatten was considered equally erratic.'
The interview was signed "EE Conroy", head of the New York field office, who wrote that she "appears to have no special motive in making the above statements."
Lownie's book also includes an interview with Anthony Daly, work worked as a rent boy for London's rich and famous during the 1970s. Daly claims that "Mountbatten had something of a fetish for uniforms — handsome young men in military uniforms (with high boots) and beautiful boys in school uniform."

Newsweek has speculated whether television series The Crown, which hasn't shied away from addressing royal scandals and rumors in the past, will broach the question of Lord Mountbatten's friendship with the DJ Jimmy Savile. Hundreds of accusations of predatory and pedophilic sexual abuse against Savile were investigated following his death in 2011:
"It's not clear whether The Crown will ever address Mountbatten's friendship with Savile, sometimes linked to the investigation of Kincora Boys' Home in Ireland, a school that many believe housed a pedophilia ring for powerful British men. The show has certainly fictionalized rumors regarding the royal family, but even hinting that Mountbatten (or Charles) knew his buddy Savile had dark intentions would be a daring—perhaps even damning—move."
Mountbatten holidayed every summer at Classiebawn Castle on Mullaghmore Harbor in County Sligo. On August 27, 1979, he was killed in a bomb attack carried out by the IRA.

He had, along with family and friends, embarked on a lobster-potting and angling expedition when a bomb on board was detonated just a few hundred yards from the harbor.
He died of his injuries, along with his grandson Nicholas Knatchbull (14), local boy Paul Maxwell (15), who was helping on the boat, and Lady Brabourne (83), his eldest daughter’s mother-in-law.
Prince Charles, who described Lord Mountbatten as "the grandfather I never had," visited the site of his assassination in 2015.
Woman arrested over sex tape that sank
Paris mayoral candidate
The Localnews@thelocal.fr
French police have arrested the girlfriend of a Russian activist who released a sex video of a prominent ally of French President Emmanuel Macron, prosecutors said on Sunday.
Pyotr Pavlensky's girlfriend was arrested on Saturday evening on charges of invasion of privacy and publishing images of a sexual nature without consent, the Paris prosecutor's office said.
Griveaux and Pavlensky
Her arrest stemmed from the release by Pavlensky, a protest artist best known before now for nailing his scrotum to Red Square in Moscow, of a video of a man masturbating accompanied by screen grabs of racy text messages sent to a woman.
She has been widely named in French media as Alexandra De Taddeo, and is reportedly the former girlfriend of Griveaux and the person to whom he sent the video.
The footage is believed to have been recorded two years ago during her relationship with married father-of-three Griveaux.
She later began a relationship with Pavlensky, who has taken public responsibility for distributing the footage.
Griveaux dropped out of the race on Friday in the wake of the video's release, saying he wanted to protect his family.
It's a bit late for that!
Pavlensky, who claimed political asylum in France in 2017, was detained on Saturday.
Investigators said his arrest was over a fight at a Paris apartment on December 31st in which two guests apparently suffered stab wounds and he is accused of wielding a knife.
However, they may also question him over the sex tape.
'Family values'
On Friday, Pavlensky told AFP on Friday that he had posted the footage online in order to expose the "hypocrisy" of 42-year-old Griveaux and planned to post more material on a newly created "political porn platform".
Griveaux "is someone who constantly brings up family values, who says he wants to be the mayor of families and always cites his wife and children as an example.
"But he is doing the opposite," he told the Libération daily newspaper.
Politicians from across the French spectrum took a different view of the matter, however, calling the video an intolerable invasion of Griveaux's privacy.
Macron's LREM, which is poised for a drubbing in the municipal elections according to opinion polls, was left scrambling to find another candidate to try topple Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, a Socialist. On Monday they announced that the new candidate would be former health minister Agnès Buzyn.
Pavlensky has a track record of causing outrage.
His Red Square protest made global headlines in 2013 and two years later doused the doors of the Russian FSB secret police headquarters with petrol and set them on fire.
In October 2017, he set fire to the offices of the Bank of France on Place Bastille, site of the attack on an infamous prison at the start of the French revolution in 1789 - later receiving a jail sentence for the stunt.
Corey Feldman Names Alleged Abusers in
Long-Awaited Film
Long-Awaited Film
Big Star blamed for raping Corey Haim
Tim Chan, Rolling StoneFifteen minutes into Monday night’s premiere of Corey Feldman’s long-awaited documentary, (My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys, the 48-year-old former child actor suddenly came sprinting down the aisle of the theater where the screening was being held. Flanked by four security guards, Feldman asked for the house lights to be turned on, and grabbed a microphone to address the crowd. There was a problem.
“You’re seeing it for yourself how people don’t want this to happen,” he declared, insinuating that something sinister was afoot.
In the ensuing confusion, there were shouts from the crowd of an “attack” on the website, and someone near the front of the stage suggested people were “hacking it in real time,” though it was unclear whether the site was actually hacked or just experiencing technical difficulties. After some tense discussion with his team — and an assist from a famous friend in the audience — Feldman decided the screening would continue.
“Some vicious people have tried to turn the tables on me,” he said, apologizing for the interruption. “But Rosanna Arquette said we should continue the film, so let’s do it. Let’s finish what we started.”
A film that Feldman has been teasing for the better part of three years, (My) Truth finally arrives this week, chronicling the actor’s long journey to bring awareness to the plight of child actors who, he claims, suffer abuse at the hands of the entertainment industry. It is also, Feldman explained at the premiere, a chance to honor a promise he made to his former co-star and late best friend, Corey Haim, to “tell his story.”
What that means, at least according to Feldman, is to reveal the names of the men who, he alleges, abused the two best friends-turned-surrogate brothers as they grew up in the glare of the Hollywood spotlight in the late Eighties and early Nineties.
The documentary begins where Haim’s story came to an unfortunate end, with an audio recording of the 911 call Haim’s mother made after finding her son unresponsive in their Los Angeles home in 2010 (the release of My Truth comes on the 10th anniversary of Haim’s death). The actor, 38, was pronounced dead a few hours later, with the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office ruling his death due to pneumonia, debunking initial reports that Haim may have overdosed.
From there, the film explores the friendship between the “two Coreys” as they were commonly known, alternating between their successful career as child actors, and a contentious relationship that developed when Haim alluded to Feldman knowing about prior abuse the former had suffered as a child, without doing anything about it. That conversation was recorded as part of an episode of The Two Coreys, a reality show that aired for two seasons on A&E before Haim’s passing.
Feldman has long spoken about the abuse he claims that he and Haim suffered during their time as child actors. In an interview with Rolling Stone last year, the actor spoke out against two “industry men” who allegedly molested him at the age of 14, and revealed that a famous actor allegedly raped Haim, though Feldman stopped short of naming names.
In the new documentary, however, Feldman breaks his silence. In a scene that drew gasps from the audience at the premiere, Feldman names Charlie Sheen as Haim’s alleged rapist, with a detailed account that includes references to Crisco as lube, and two trailers that Feldman says hid the sex act from public view. The alleged assault happened, Feldman claims, on the set of Lucas, a coming-of-age film that cast Sheen’s “Cappie” as a protector of sorts for Haim’s titular character. The film — which also starred Winona Ryder and Courtney Thorne-Smith, among others — was released in 1986. Haim was 13 at the time of the alleged incident.
It’s unclear if the potential legal ramifications, which had dissuaded Feldman from speaking out previously, have been addressed, or if the actor is simply ready to speak — despite the consequences. Feldman doesn’t mention Sheen’s name again beyond the reveal, and Sheen is not interviewed nor given a statement in the film, though when The National Enquirer published the allegations in 2017, Sheen categorically denied the claims. Hours after the premiere, Sheen spoke out publicly: “These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred. Period,” Sheen’s spokesperson told The Wrap. “I would urge everyone to consider the source and read what his mother Judy Haim has to say.” (A representative for Sheen did not respond to Rolling Stone’s request for additional comment.)
The allegations against Sheen, however, are supported in the documentary by Feldman’s ex-wife, Susie Sprague (who appeared in The Two Coreys), and Jamison Newlander, an actor who grew close to Feldman and Haim after co-starring with them in the 1987’s The Lost Boys. Both say Haim had revealed the alleged rape to them, and suggest that it was common knowledge in Hollywood circles but ultimately ignored.
Feldman had previously identified three other alleged abusers from his youth, calling out his former manager, Marty Weiss, for inappropriate behavior, along with Alphy Hoffman, the proprietor of the eponymous Alphy’s Soda Pop Club, a sort-of Soho House for kids that was popular in the late 1980s. In an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show in 2017, Feldman also accused his former assistant John Grissom of sexually molesting him. Grissom also worked as an actor for a short time, appearing in the 1988 film, License to Drive and 1989’s Dream a Little Dream with Feldman and Haim. All three men are mentioned again in the film, along with Dominick Brascia, a bit-actor that befriended Haim and Feldman in the Eighties.
Neither Grissom nor Hoffman have commented on the allegations, nor were they interviewed for (My) Truth. Weiss, meantime, has been actively defending himself on Twitter, accusing Feldman of changing his tune, while also disclosing that he was a victim of CSA (Child Sexual Abuse) himself.

Placido Domingo engaged in 'inappropriate conduct' with women, opera company probe says
Jocelyn Gecker · The Associated Press
An investigation commissioned by LA Opera into sexual harassment allegations against Placido Domingo has found that the legendary tenor engaged in "inappropriate conduct" with multiple women over the three decades he held senior positions at the company, which he helped found and later led.
The findings did not detail any of the allegations, but said the "level of discomfort reported by the women varied, ranging from some women stating they were uncomfortable to others who described significant trauma."
The six-month investigation, conducted by outside lawyers, also found "no evidence that LA Opera ever ignored, failed to address, or covered up sexual harassment complaints," the summary said.
The accusations echo those of a separate independent investigation released two weeks ago by the American Guild of Musical Artists, the U.S. union that represents opera performers.
Both investigations were launched after the publication of Associated Press stories last year in which multiple women accused Domingo of sexual harassment and abusing his power. Dozens of people told the AP that his behaviour was an open secret in the opera world, where men in positions of authority have long behaved with impunity.
Domingo, now 79, has been regarded as one of the greatest opera singers of all time and a key power broker in the industry. He served as general director at Washington Opera from 2003 to 2011 and helped found LA Opera in the 1980s before becoming an artistic adviser, then artistic director and finally general director from 2003 until his tenure was cut short by the allegations last year.
The LA Opera investigation, conducted by the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, said Domingo was one of 44 people interviewed and that the singer had "denied all allegations of unwanted contact and maintained that all his interactions were consensual."
The report added that investigators "often found him to be sincere in his denials but found some of them to be less credible or lacking in awareness."
It also said that investigators "found no evidence that Mr. Domingo ever engaged in a quid pro quo or retaliated against any woman by not casting or otherwise hiring her at LA Opera."
Nancy Seltzer, a spokesperson for Domingo, said he had no immediate comment on the findings.
Apology conflicts with follow-up statement
Two weeks ago, Domingo issued a pair of conflicting statements after the American Guild of Musical Artists concluded that he had "engaged in inappropriate activity, ranging from flirtation to sexual advances, in and outside of the workplace."
The union did not release specific findings. But people familiar with the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity told the AP that investigators found 27 people were sexually harassed or had witnessed inappropriate behaviour by Domingo in the 1990s and 2000s while he held senior management positions at the LA Opera and the Washington National Opera.
In concert with the findings, Domingo apologized to the women who had accused him of misconduct, after denying the allegations for months. "I want them to know that I am truly sorry," he said. "I accept full responsibility for my actions."
But two days later, as several Spanish organizations moved to cancel his appearances, he issued a second statement saying his apology had generated a false impression that he wanted to correct.
"I have never behaved aggressively toward anybody, nor have I ever done anything to obstruct or hurt the career of anybody," he said.
As with Harvey Weinstein, narcissists never think they are in the wrong.
The cancellations in Spain were the first in Europe, where reaction to the misconduct allegations was more muted than in the U.S., where Domingo's performances were swiftly cancelled.
More cancellations have followed. London's Royal Opera House said in a statement last week it had mutually agreed with Domingo that he withdraw from a July production of Don Carlo.
The Hamburg State Opera said Tuesday that Domingo had cancelled planned appearances in late March and early April because of the coronavirus outbreak. The German company said the cancellation was due to medical recommendations stemming from his age and other factors and that it "understands and respects this decision."
