Harvey Weinstein Felony Conviction Overturned

The #MeToo Movement Responds to the shocking decision

On April 25, the New York state high court overturned the 2020 felony sex crime conviction of former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and ordered a new trail. Weinstein will stay in prison while he waits for the outcome to challenges of another conviction of rape in Los Angeles.

Weinstein's guilty verdict represented a milestone for the #MeToo movement supporting sexual assault survivors. The scandal gave momentum to the movement to identify and protest sexual assault in the workplace. #MeToo
