Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years in prison on rape conviction



What I particularly like is that the defence specifically asked for a light sentence on the grounds that he was so talented.

To which the judge has replied, in effect "Nope. Talent does not give you a right to rape people at a special reduced celebrity rate."

Good news during a depressing time.

Weinstein gets what he deserves and it is a day of justice for victims of sexual violence. However, below is a very scary number for single men.

It is a great time for survivors of sexual assault and I am glad many are getting the justice they deserve, but it is not a great time for the wrongfully accused. Up to 41% of sexual assault accusations could be false and it is nearly impossible to prove your innocence. The only way to prove your innocence is to not get accused in the first place. I suspect that about 10-15% of all sexual assault accusations are false and the percentage will increase over time.

It is not 2% like Cenk Uygur just claimed.
