Britain halts criminal proceedings against Harvey Weinstein
British prosecutors have decided not to pursue criminal charges of indecent assault against former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
The Crown Prosecution Service said on Thursday that it decided to discontinue proceedings against Weinstein because there is 바카라 게임 웹사이트no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트
바카라 게임 웹사이트We have explained our decision to all parties,바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트 the CPS said in statement. 바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트We 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.바카라 게임 웹사이트
The CPS had previously authorized police to file the charges against Weinstein in relation to an alleged indecent assault that occurred in London in 1996.
Weinstein remains in custody in New York while awaiting retrial on rape and sexual assault charges in Manhattan, prosecutors said in August after the former movie mogul made a brief court appearance related to California바카라 게임 웹사이트s request to extradite him there.
After the retrial, he is due to start serving a 16-year sentence in California for a separate rape conviction in Los Angeles, authorities said. Weinstein, who has denied that he raped or sexually assaulted anyone, was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 while already serving a 23-year sentence in New York.
His 2020 conviction in Manhattan was thrown out this spring by the state바카라 게임 웹사이트s top court, which ruled that the judge in the original trial unfairly allowed testimony against Weinstein based on allegations that weren바카라 게임 웹사이트t part of the case.
