Justice. Harvey Weinstein will be charged in the UK for sexual assault

Harvey Weinstein is seen in the sights and sounds of British justice. The movement was started by Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood film producer who was murdered in 2017.

British prosecutors announced Wednesday that Harvey Weinstein will be charged with two counts of sexually assaulting an individual in London in 1996. It said that the prosecution was authorized after a review of evidence collected by the Metropolitan Police during its investigation. The London police must now officially charge Harvey Weinstein according to a press release.

In 2020, the former producer was sentenced to 23 years criminal imprisonment for a 2006 sexual assault and 2013 rape. The American justice dismissed an appeal by the ex-Hollywood mogul in June and upheld its verdict. Harvey Weinstein, 70 years old, is currently in California prison awaiting a new trial in connection to alleged sexual assaults on five women.

The global movement was triggered by the revelations and fall of the producer in October 2017.
