Judge states: Harvey Weinstein is being prosecuted for rape

The judge determined on Thursday that Harvey Weinstein should actually be put on trial for rape.

However, the judge has decided that the indictment will not be rejected. Weinstein was confronted during the session with a number of actresses present in the courtroom, including Amber Tamblyn, Kathy Najimy and Oscar winner Marisa Tomei. Jennifer Lawrence was not present at the session. A hearing for the preliminary investigation will follow on 7 March.
