Harvey Weinstein is a “serial predator” and rapist said Jennifer Siebel Newsom today after a Los Angeles jury was unable to come to a unanimous verdict on the much-accused producer’s guilt in allegedly attacking her back in 2005.
“Harvey Weinstein will never be able to rape another woman,” California’s First Partner asserted in a statement sent out within minutes of the mixed verdict Monday. “He will spend the rest of his life behind bars where he belongs. Harvey Weinstein is a serial predator and what he did was rape.”
Found guilty on a trio of charges and now facing 18 – 24 years in state prison, the already incarcerated Weinstein was acquitted on another sexual battery count and saw the jury deadlocked on three other counts. That final round of charges were all the counts related to Jane Doe #4 a.k.a. Siebel Newsom.
Talking to the stand in mid-November, an often-emotional Siebel Newsom meticulously provided detail on her initial meetings with the once powerful Pulp Fiction producer almost two decades ago, and the alleged assault at Beverly Hills’ Peninsula Hotel 17 years ago when she was relatively fledgling actress/filmmaker. “I could tell he just needed, he was so determined, just so scary, just all about him and his pleasure, his need for satisfaction, so I just did it to make it stop,” Siebel Newsom told the jury, Judge Lisa Lench, lawyers and onlookers on November 14 of Weinstein and the alleged rape that occurred several years before she married then San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom “Oh, I just made some noises to get him to ejaculate faster,” Siebel Newsom said of her reaction later in the assault to the masturbating Weinstein after he put his “weird and messed up” penis inside her.
