So Harvey Weinstein got 23 years in prison…and he still may have charges to face in Los Angeles. He's 67…so what are the odds that he staggers out a free man in the year 2043? Or serves even a third of that sentence?
I'm flipping back and forth between news channels and everyone's talking about the satisfaction and possible healing that now comes to the 80+ women who have said Weinstein assaulted them. That's all true and good but I don't hear anyone talking about what I think is even more important: How this impacts other sexual predators who have not (yet) been identified…or not yet even committed similar deeds.
And don't forget all the people who make this kind of thing possible by knowing about such acts and pretending they don't. What happened today is not just about Weinstein and his victims. Maybe I'm missing it but I haven't seen anyone in all this breathless news coverage mention that.
