Over the ensuing weeks and months, more accusations began to be made, not only against Weinstein, but against numerous others in the entertainment industry, by women seemingly strengthened by the support being offered to the victims in the Weinstein affair.
Harvey Weinstein was accused of various forms of sexual harassment and misconduct with numerous women over the years that he had been a major player in the film industry.
It was the end of last year when the first allegations against the head of The Weinstein Company showed up in print.
Things came to a head this past week when Weinstein turned himself over to authorities in Tribeca on charges of rape and related sexual assault.
