Juror Who Convicted Harvey Weinstein Of Rape Accused Of Drugging And Raping Women
Jesus fucking Christ, men are horrific:
A Harvey Weinstein juror who bragged he “singlehandedly delivered” the guilty verdict in the disgraced movie exec’s sexual assault trial allegedly drugged and raped two women, according to a lawsuit.
The women, who are not publicly identified, each claim their separate assaults first occurred when they had drinks with Steven Brecher, 55, and quickly blacked out, they said in the Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit against their former employer, Milan-based spirits company Fratelli Branca.
Brecher, 55, the former CEO of Fratelli subsidiary Branca USA, allegedly coerced the women into ongoing sexual relationships, threatening that they would lose their jobs if the truth emerged, they claimed in the legal filing
Brecher — who has not been criminally charged — shamelessly waxed on about his seven weeks on the jury that convicted Weinstein of rape in February 2020, the women said in court papers.
Brecher is not being sued but was identified as the women’s attacker in the litigation.
The man who allegedly committed the rapes isn’t being sued (nor was he criminally charged), but the women are suing the company where they all worked instead? There are more details about the alleged rapes at the link, but this still makes absolutely no sense. I guess there’s more money to be made going after the corporation instead of the former CEO?
