Harvey Weinstein says all of his sexual encounters were consensual. What?

Perhaps by "consensual" he means in the sense that one might "consent" to almost anything if one was subject to a literal or metaphorical "gun to the head."

Do as you ask or you'll throw my mother into the street? OK, I'll "consent" to doing what you request.

Thankfully, the law does not recognize such "consent" as valid.

President Trump says there is no Climate Change happening.

Anyone who would take either liar's mutterings as valid, has bigger problems than what Harvey says.  Or Trump. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at January 27, 2020 5:14 PM MST

I said the same thing to my wife. Is he that stupid that anyone would believe that.

I think he just meant that he consented to them... he needs to go where Prince Andrews peadophile chum got his taste of honest justice... 

Oh what lengths someone will go to in order to justify their bad behavior!  He's a PR man and probably a narcissist.  

I think it's incumbent upon someone to state the obvious here.

OF COURSE Weinstein is going to claim the sexual encounters where others claim he committed sexual assault were consensual.

If he doesn't say that, then he's admitting to rape (or other sexual assault claims) and will be subject to both criminal and civil penalties. He may suffer those penalties anyway, but if he admits lack of consent he has no chance of beating the rap.

Perhaps it would better if Weinstein simply said nothing publicly, but if he does speak up then he has little choice but to claim the encounters were consensual.
