Over 100 women have come forward.
Whether that was, or was not a factor in the sentencing, suggesting it was too harsh has to be putting yourself on the wrong side.
There's no right or wrong side, just the degree of objectivity. I don't think there's the slightest thing wrong with suggesting a sentence is harsh, particulary when the sentence has taken into account 'offences' that have yet to be heard/tried in court and the accused has yet to be convicted of any of them. Perhaps that's the way US courts work, I don't know.Whether that was, or was not a factor in the sentencing, suggesting it was too harsh has to be putting yourself on the wrong side.

The point I was making was (and it wasn't aimed at you), if you are going to come out in defence of someone maybe don't choose the guy accused of sexually assaulting or raping over 100 women.Or do, and accept the consequences of that.

Would you have given him more?
Rape's a vile crime. Harsh sentences (if this can even be considered that) should be par for the course.
I'd have harsh sentences for any physical violence against another.
He got 3 years for the 3rd decree rape (not that I know what a 3rd degree rape is in the US legal system).Rape's a vile crime. Harsh sentences (if this can even be considered that) should be par for the course.

His main crime was the sexual assault one which he got 20 years.
(The "assault" angle fits in my view on harsh sentences too btw

Reading what happens in Trump thread, it seems that power is everything and who you have installed and what crime etc. for loading the bases. Weinsteins power was in the wrong area.liner33 said:

Would it not have been more prudent for Mr Weinstein to have requested the services of high-class call girls in LA, rather than raping women, to satisfy his sexual urgencies?
What a plonker.
Its not about sex its about powerWhat a plonker.
Power and Ego.
Most people wouldn’t pay for sex as they would consider it an insult that they can only get women by paying.
People like Weinstein like to think they can ‘have any woman they want’ by flexing their power and influence.
They then start thinking that no one would ever say no to them, and we can all see where that leads.

Can't relate to it though, but then I'm not a powerfully built PH director type.
Is Harvey on his way out?
“ Harvey Weinstein ill with a fever and being 'closely monitored' in prison
A spokesman says the ex-producer has a fever, but would not "confirm nor deny" he had tested positive for COVID-19.”
