Harvey Weinstein

Between October 2017 and May 2018, accusations of sexual abuse and rape from over 80 women were thrown against American film producer Harvey Weinstein, co-founder of entertainment companies Miramax and The Weinstein Company. The allegations gave birth to the #MeToo campaign on social media that brought sexual abuse committed by powerful men to light. On May 25, 2018, Weinstein was arrested in New York, charged for rape and other offenses, and relased on bail.
