  5. Harvey Weinstein's UK Indecent Assault Charges Dropped by Prosecutors

Harvey Weinstein's UK Indecent Assault Charges Dropped by Prosecutors

ai generated text

British prosecutors have discontinued indecent assault charges against Harvey Weinstein due to a lack of evidence, citing "no longer a realistic prospect of conviction". The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) authorized charges related to an alleged assault in London in 1996, but after reviewing the evidence, they decided to discontinue the proceedings. This decision was made independently by the CPS, and the Metropolitan police were not involved in the decision-making process. The CPS encouraged potential victims of sexual assault to come forward and report to the police, stating that they would always support and facilitate such reports.

    1. We would always encourage any potential victims of sexual assault to come forward and report to police, and we will prosecute wherever our legal test is met.
    2. Following a review of the evidence in this case, the CPS has decided to discontinue criminal proceedings against Harvey Weinstein. The CPS has a duty to keep all cases under continuous review, and we have determined that there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.

    1. I know how much it has cost me coming forward, and other women, but what has happened to me and to others is just horrific.
    2. It has cost so much to so many women who have come forward and we have had every reason to hope for the best.
    3. At the end of the day there is still a considerable influence being played by, let's call them very well paid legal tribes.
