Harvey Weinstein was reprimanded Tuesday during his rape trial for using his cell phone. At one point, the judge snapped: 'Is this really the way you want to end up in jail for the rest of your life? By texting in violation of an order?'
On Monday, prosecutors in Los Angeles charged Weinstein with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in 2013. He faces charges of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by force, and sexual battery by restraint. If convicted, Weinstein faces up to 28 years in prison.
“I ask that you use common sense,” he added. “Can you be fair and impartial? It is the talk of the town right this moment.” If convicted, Weinstein, one of the most powerful people in the indie film community and the Oscar-winning producer behind “Shakespeare in Love” and “Pulp Fiction,” faces life in prison. Weinstein has denied the allegations and claims that any sexual contact was consensual. His trial is seen as a key test for the #MeToo Movement.
