Update: "Harvey Weinstein is not a rapist" says attorney on the disgraced mogul

The #MeToo movement may have died down when we talk about the trends but that certainly doesn't mean that revelations and cases are not coming in anymore. For now, this piece is about where it all began. It is no secret that the first one in this juge list of accused was none other than producer and business mogul, Harvey Weinstein.

Nothing has been confirmed per se but the man has been accused by umpteen women as the case continues. The attorney of Weinstein, Donna Rotunno recently had an interview with CBS This Morning where she talked about her client on length.

"I'm not here to say he was not guilty of committing sins," she said. However, "I don't think he's a rapist."

"I think in many ways there are good things about #MeToo," the lawyer said. However, the empowerment movement "allows the court of public opinion to take over the narrative" in a way that can't be corrected or challenged, which can result in the accused being "stripped of your rights."

"It's really about making sure those issues don't cloud our ability to pick a fair jury," she said.

No matter what happens at trial, she said, Weinstein "will pay the biggest price there is," because his life is ruined.

Weinstein is scheduled to go to trial in January on charges alleging he raped an unidentified woman in his Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on a different woman in 2006. He denies all accusations of nonconsensual sex.
