I really wish there was NOT a statute of limitations on rape.
The problem is, with or without a statute of limitations, I dont believe anyone should be found guilty or even prosecuted without physical evidence, and in the case of rape that disappears pretty damn fast. Modern technology means theres more surveillance methods available but of course no one is gonna try anything with a girl when they know theres cameras or microphones all over the place.

Maybe thats the solution. Put cameras everywhere. The vast majority of these guys are cowards. Maybe if they knew they were always being recorded they wouldnt try this shit?
Focus on it. Lose privacy. Prosecute the evidence. Don't let up. We should attack the problem with tech, not fix the problem? (and I don't mean castration) Public shaming is one step. There are a few more. I think there's a formula somewhere. Taking bets: Will he go to jail? Oh yes, and no statute of limitations for prosecut-able rape should exist. Sorry bastards, the casting couch is gone. And no hiding under the rainbow Mr. Spacey. We don't wantcha!

This is too foreign to me for me to understand the mechanics behind it.. I read its not about sex but about power... What kind of circumstances, childhood etc, produces a sexual predator? I mean I can understand having it in for someone, even plotting a murder for different reasons, I can just not imagine sexual assault being a cost effective way of getting what you want. It sounds stupid.

Desperation for acceptance? Uncontrollable urges? Stupid, yes, and given the pervasiveness and history, probably fulfilling an ancient neurological need for male domination, which is everywhere, in many forms. Power of all kinds is so attractive. Uncontrollable to the weak-minded, controllable for the rest of us. It takes just a little sophistication. (not excusing it at all).

this kinda blew my mind that he went to such lengths not only to cover up his crimes, but to allow himself to keep on perpetuating his actions. If he's convicted I think he's going to jail for the rest of his shitty life.
There needs to be a law to prevent this kinda thing happening again...no rape victim should be pressured into signing a non-disclosure agreement as part of a settlement, and no law firm should be spying on behalf of perpetrators to ensure a victim's silence.

Edit: Also, I bet the alt-right is having a field day with the spying story. Big Jewish media mogul hiring ex-Mossad agents? Throw Soros in there and you have a full-on globalist Jew conspiracy fully exposed!!!

I agree but on the NDA issue, the availability of NDA's can help the plaintiff who would rather settle than go through a long, grueling trial. Often times defendants won't settle without the NDA, particularly if they are public figures. I'm fine with the NDA ban so long as plaintiffs understand that they may be facing a lot more public trials and a lot fewer settlements.

So what, when the alt right trips over their dicks on their pet issues you can have a field day with them,

last thing we need is worrying about what the other side thinks or says, more than the issue on hand (in this case sexual assault and rape) because of some debate talking point or face saving political issue, like the catholic church did, resulting in coverups and victim abuse/blaming making it much worse.

Spying on dozens of women does not help his case at all. If he's innocent, the man is a fool cuz just about everything he does makes him look dirty and evil and sinister. When is somebody going to charge and arraign him?

Odds on Weinstein pulling a Polanski Maneuver?

Pretty sure Weinstein has been grounded and unlike Polanski, he isn't a citizen of another country.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office signaled its intention to retry Weinstein, and his accusers could again be forced to retell their stories on the witness stand.

While I feel bad for the people that have to go through this a second time this asshole needs to spend the rest of his life in jail.
