A timeline of the scandal involving Harvey Weinstein

The major occasions that brought him before the court are outlined below:

In an interview with the Guardian, British actress Romola Garai claims that Weinstein's 18-year-old audition of her left her feeling "violated" because he had answered the door to his hotel room in a bathrobe.

Weinstein's former company, Miramax Films, was where screenwriter Scott Rosenberg spent his formative years. He claims in a Facebook post that while he was unaware of any rape allegations, many others were and that they were aware of Weinstein's "dreadful" behavior.
On a Canadian talk show, actress Lauren Holly describes meeting Weinstein in a hotel room in the late 1990s. Before approaching her naked and asking for a massage, she claims the producer showered and used the restroom in front of her.
Weinstein's driver, Mickael Chemloul, admits in a French television interview that he frequently consoled "tearful aspiring actresses" after their encounters with the producer and had to drive around "tearful aspiring actresses" for the producer.

Actor Channing Tatum stops working on the child sex abuse movie he was producing with Harvey Weinstein's company.
Robert Lindsay claims that a run-in with Weinstein, which resulted in him losing a role in Shakespeare in Love, caused his Hollywood film career to come to an abrupt end.
Weinstein no longer holds the Du Bois medal that Harvard University awarded him in 2014 for his contributions to African-American culture.

For two alleged sexual assaults in 2000 in Toronto, a Canadian actress filed a lawsuit against Weinstein. A total of 14 million Canadian dollars (£8.34 million) are sought by the unnamed actress known only as "Jane Doe.".

A "credible and detailed narrative" provided by an unnamed woman who is thought to be Paz de la Huerta has led New York police to claim that they have "an actual case" against Weinstein.

After an additional woman came forward to claim she was assaulted at an "unknown location in the early 1990s," the Metropolitan Police says it has received another allegation of sexual assault.

The evidence, according to Weinstein's attorney Donna Rotunno, will clear the movie mogul of any criminal wrongdoing, CBS reports. I'm not here to say that he wasn't guilty of sinning, she asserts. I don't believe he is a rapist, but there is a difference between sins and crimes. ".

Weinstein fails in his attempt to have his trial relocated outside of New York City. It is "the least likely place on Earth," according to his attorneys, where jurors can carry out their duties "in an atmosphere free of intimidation and pressure to deliver a result that the politicians, the activists, the celebrities, and the media demand.".

Kaja Sokola, a former model, claims Weinstein assaulted her sexually when she was 16 years old. Although she remained anonymous in an earlier class action lawsuit, she has since left that group and gone public in order to bring her own claim, claiming that the aforementioned settlement is not "fair or just.". Weinstein's former attorney called the accusations "preposterous" when she first came forward in 2018.

The trial in New York starts off in earnest after the jury is chosen, with graphic statements from the prosecution on his alleged crimes.
Only two of the three women who made the accusations are listed on the charge sheet, but prosecutor Meghan Hast describes him as a "seasoned" sexual predator and provides explicit details.
His legal team claims that his actions were voluntary, even in one "loving" relationship.

Donna Rotunno, Weinstein's lead attorney, implores the 12 jurors to find themselves "unpopular" by convicting him in her closing arguments, arguing that he was innocent from the beginning.
The prosecution's case depends on the jury's acceptance of the allegations made by six women, but the jury is only deliberating charges against two of them—former actress Jessica Mann and former production assistant Mimi Haleyi—because the other allegations are too old to be prosecuted.

The jury starts deliberating after hearing all of the evidence. Judge James Burke reminds them that in order to find the defendant guilty on all counts, they must be unanimous in their judgments and be certain of his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Judge may be required to declare a mistrial if they are unable to do so.
Donna Rotunno, the lead defense attorney, has received a warning from Judge Burke not to speak to the media after a Newsweek opinion piece she wrote angered the prosecution.

Weinstein's arguments that the judge had biased him by allowing women to testify about allegations that were not related to the criminal case were rejected by an appeals court in New York, which upheld Weinstein's conviction for rape.

On trial in Los Angeles, Weinstein is accused of 11 crimes involving five alleged victims.
