    Sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein

    At least 34 Hollywood actresses, including Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan, have accused top film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. The allegations led to Weinstein's dismissal from the board of his production company, the Weinstein Company, on October 9. On October 15, he was expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the board behind the Oscars.

    In a statement, he admitted allegations were true and expressed remorse. He said he learned too late in life that "when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your d**k isn't a question. It's a predicament for them." He also admitted to taking advantage of his standing in the actors' community, which stopped the victims from sharing their stories.
