Re: Harvey Weinstein

Well, that would depend upon the legislation. But, if other posts on this thread are anything to go by, any unwanted attention of a sexual nature is sexual harassment.

As to "misunderstanding" I...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

How are couples to "court" these days? Surely, any form of approach by one to another is harassment, isn't it?

Re: Harvey Weinstein

I would love to know how his former lawyer has not broken privilege by divulging the advice he gave to his former client.

Re: Harvey Weinstein

I appreciate that.

It is an issue as, essentially, there is no physical evidence and it comes down to a he said/she said argument, which is the same in most sexual assaults, but with the...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

I believe Jonathan King made the same comment after he was convicted. He argued that, essentially, the burden of proof is reversed and the assailant is deemed to be guilty unless they can...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

You are, of course, completely correct. What happens in a Court is not relevant at all; what is relevant is determined media articles.

Re: Harvey Weinstein

So what? I wasn't talking about the State, I was talking about the person accusing the accused. Please continue to argue with yourself.



I would call them the person assaulted, the owner of...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

The parties would be the State v The Defendant.

You can call the various witnesses whatever you wish to: the mother of the Defendant; the person accusing the defendant of the assault, whatever you...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

Of course not. What I am suggesting is that it matters not a jot what people on a forum like this think. The Court made its decision and, if there is not appeal, that is the end of the matter.

Re: Harvey Weinstein

The evidence is weighed and the fact finder makes a decision as to whether the burden of proof has been met. If you have ever attended a sexual assault trial you will have noted that the lawyers...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

I suggest that the problem is always assuming an accuser is a victim before the trial has taken place and the accused convicted.

Re: Harvey Weinstein

The Crown is the prosecutor, but, unless one is accused, the prosecutor cannot prosecute. Semantics at best, and I have no idea why you raised the point.

Frequently, the accused admits that sex...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

The problem is this: I accuse you of raping me 20 years ago. I have no evidence that you did and I have no real excuse as to why I didn't report it at the time, I simply say that I didn't believe...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

The problem that I see is that, until this comes to Court, no one really knows what happened, despite the fact that lots are saying the same thing.

Too often in the past, what has been presented...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

In a criminal case the assailants' legal team is the State. NDA will not protect him in a criminal trial.

If you don't like how the criminal legal system works, what you do propose as an...

Re: Harvey Weinstein

Virtually every sensible jurisdiction in the world relies upon, "Innocent until proven guilty." which, I believe, is sensible. If it wasn't, you would be guilty simply because someone accuses you....

Re: Harvey Weinstein

The issue there would be: whether the "duress" negated the "consent."

I am, however, mindful of the Ghomeshi and Cosby trials and the fact that he hasn't actually be charged with anything yet. ...
