'It's a watershed moment in terms of how these cases are tried,' Ronan Farrow tells GMA on Weinstein conviction.
.""I think the verdict sends a powerful message about not only this new era we find ourselves in, but also a new era for sex crimes prosecution.", became the public face of the #MeToo movement in 2018 after both The New York Times and The New Yorker published explosive accounts of his alleged misconduct. The reporting featured accusations from actresses including Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan and more.
"The allegations are typical of what happens in the world, but the [trial] is not typical of what happens in criminal court," said Tuerkheimer, noting the most common incidents of sexual violence include no weapon, no physical injury and no prompt reporting of charges. Time's Up, the organization started by Hollywood actresses in response to the #MeToo movement, described the Weinstein trial and verdict as marking"a new era of justice."
"There’s a feedback loop," explained Tuerkheimer."When the criminal justice system fails survivors, survivors see that and are less likely to come forward." "It's been an overwhelming demand and that’s just the number of people we’ve been able to help," he said, noting that calls to RAINN's hotline also increase when a high-profile story like the Weinstein case is in the news.MORE: A timeline of Harvey Weinstein's fall from grace to rape charges
