^ That was always the most audacious aspect of their appeal, I thought.

Interestingly, one of Jeffrey Epstein's key partners in crime was the daughter of a Mossad agent. I guess all Mafia bosses need their hired thugs.

How long before Weinstein kills himself?

I'd be surprised if he sees out the year.

lol.....HW has chest pains to avoid prison.

Will definitely top himself if he sets foot in jail.

I don't think he has any powerful friends or members of the English Royal family implicated in this, so "suicide" would be unlikely.

He'll end up in some minimum security arrangement with access to pretty much everything he has on the outside anyway.

He is channelling Chistopher Skase.

Yep that’s what I thought too!

Can't read it, paywall.

Why out of the thousands of false allegations, especially against male students do they go with one against a woman for the story?

Funny thing is, you can listen to it! They have audio on that page, and it sounds like it's not caught by the paywall. (But it's a long listen.)

The answer to your question is (probably): it was proven false in a court of law, and the partner of the victim (who teaches creative non-fiction and is a former news reporter) wrote this story.

Update: no, it didn't go to court but was settled. The settlement allowed the victims to say whatever they wanted about it, but not to disclose the villain's name. (The villain is a gay man who was competing with the victim's partner for a job that the victim's partner was offered instead of him.)


One of the reader comments (these are not behind a paywall either):

"Dr Peter Nelson

The perpetrator of the fraudulent accusations is a psychopathic and should have been identified. I say this as a psychologist who spent years assessing criminal offenders for the district court of New South Wales, Australia. Typically, they lack empathy and they are completely instrumental in their dealings with others. In other words they treat others as objects on a chess board and, as this perpetrator did, they escalate and commit whatever acts required to cover their tracks. Your worry about him committing an act of self-harm was misguided. He was (and is) more likely to harm others in order to protect himself. For this reason I believe he should have been publicly outed, so that he is known and trackable. Next time he may well go to a greater extreme, than merely generating additional false identities, to cover his tracks."
