Harvey Weinstein
Harvey Weinstein (born 1952), former film producer and co-founder of Miramax Films and The Weinstein Company. Convicted of rape and sexual assault in both New York (2020, conviction overturned 2024, retrial pending) and Los Angeles (2022, 16-year sentence). Named in victim Virginia Giuffre's handwritten journals listing men she was directed to have sexual encounters with by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Listed in Epstein's contact directory ("black book") with multiple phone numbers. Weinstein's own sexual predation — exposed by the New York Times and New Yorker in October 2017, igniting the #MeToo movement — operated through parallel mechanisms to Epstein's network: systematic abuse enabled by institutional protection and non-disclosure agreements. Named as Tier 1 (Direct Evidence) based on victim journal entries.
