Harvey Weinstein was a powerful movie producer who was a serial rapist and committed many sexual assaults, all which came to light over the past several years. He was just found guilty in a court of law and will now hopefully spend his life in prison. His downfall started a national discussion of “#MeToo”, as other women and some men spoke out about work place assaults they had experienced. Thus, the term the Harvey Weinstein Effect was coined.
