#MeToo vs. statutes of limitations: Harvey Weinstein indictment will allow victim to testify

1566853558462.jpg

There’s a grand jury indictment against Harvey Weinstein, pushing his trial back to 2020 but allowing one of his alleged victims to testify against him.

Why it matters: The new indictment gets around statute of limitations issues pertaining to Annabella Sciorra’s testimony, the New York Times reports.


  • The indictment will “let Ms. Sciorra tell her story on the witness stand under the legal theory that her testimony will support charges of predatory sexual assault, even though her alleged encounter with the producer happened so long ago to be charged separately as rape.”
  • In “order to prove predatory sexual assault, prosecutors must present evidence that Weinstein committed felony sexual assault against at least two individuals,” BuzzFeed News reported.
  • Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.

The big picture: Some of the most prominent #MeToo cases involve allegations that are past individual statutes of limitations, even though activists are working to change that status quo.

  • Some history: “When laws around domestic violence and sexual harassment emerged in the 1970s and ’80s, they were meant to encompass an understanding of the broader dynamics of control and entitlement that informed insidious behaviors,” the Times reported last year.
  • “But too often these laws were rendered in a way that limited their ability to impose consequences for the wide range of damages inflicted by patterns of manipulation and abuse.”

Go deeper: The #MeToo election isn’t happening

Biden laments treatment of Anita Hill

190326-joe-biden-ap-773.jpg

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday expressed regret for Anita Hill’s treatment during the Senate confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

“She paid a terrible price. She was abused through the hearing,” Biden said of Hill during the Biden Courage Awards ceremony in New York. “To this day, I regret I couldn’t get her the kind of hearing she deserved.”

Biden, who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991 during Thomas’ confirmation, has been repeatedly criticized for his handling of Hill’s testimony before the committee — criticism that could prove a thorn in his side during a potential 2020 presidential bid. Hill spoke out against Thomas at the time, accusing him of harassing her while acting as her supervisor, but was unable to stop Thomas’ confirmation.

Biden remarked Tuesday that he tried not to get Thomas confirmed, but still conceded that Hill faced a “bunch of white guys” and that she deserved a “hearing where she was respected.” He has already publicly apologized to Hill for her treatment during the hearing.

Biden added that the Senate committee remains a hostile environment for women to bring up instances of abuses, referring to the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, when Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified before the committee that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in high school. The highly publicized hearing drew immediate comparisons to Hill’s testimony and highlighted cultural and generational clashes of the #MeToo era.

Several candidates who have formally entered the crowded Democratic field have also dealt with call-outs of mishandling complaints of sexual misconduct. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) defended her office against criticism for her handling of a sexual harassment complaint, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) apologized after reports of sexual harassment committed by his staff during his 2016 campaign.
