I would not be surprised to learn that when he was young some Rabbi had his way with young Harvey, too.
But I made no statement on causation, merely noted the very common correlation.
I find your above description interesting in the amount of equivocation on both counts - "alleged" and the parenthetical on the Weinstein/Argento incident, "statutory" modifying "rape" on the Argento/whatshisname incident. I have no argument with any of them, I just find it interesting that there is so much equivocation on two events where an older powerful show business player was forcing themselves on a younger aspiring actor. I might also note that there was more than twenty years between Weinstein and Argento. I think the equivocation comes because we know these acts are wrong, but the "forced consent" element blurs the categories and provides defenses, at least from a legal perspective. |
