Jury selection, which is expected to take two weeks, began Monday, and Buzzfeed News reported at least five potential jurors so far have said they were not aware of the #MeToo movement, the national reckoning over the treatment of sexual abuse victims that skyrocketed five years ago this month, when allegations against Weinstein were first published in the កាសែត New York Times និង ញូវយ៉ក.
The charges against Weinstein stem from alleged incidents that took place between 2004 and 2013 with five women, one of whom was identified last week by the ទីក្រុង Los Angeles Times បាន as Siebel Newsom, a former actress and the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. (Siebel Newsom’s lawyer confirmed that she would testify.)
Judge Lisa B. Lench ruled Monday that the defense can introduce an email Siebel Newsom sent Weinstein in 2007, two years after he allegedly assaulted her, asking for advice from the producer on how to deal with the “bad press” from the revelation that Newsom had an affair; Weinstein’s lawyer plans to use the email to show that the two were on friendly terms, and បាននិយាយថា: they had had “consensual sex.”
On Friday, Lench គ្រប់គ្រង that actor Mel Gibson can testify about an unnamed alleged victim who is Gibson’s friend and masseuse.
