Murder of Dru Sjodin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Alfonso Rodriguez, Jr)
Dru Sjodin
Born Dru Katrina Sjodin
September 26, 1981
Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, United States
Died November 22, 2003 (aged 22)
Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States
Dru Katrina Sjodin (September 26, 1981 – c. November 22, 2003) was an
American woman who was abducted from the Columbia Mall parking lot in Grand
Forks, North Dakota, by Alfonso Rodriguez Jr., on November 22, 2003.[1] Her
disappearance and murder garnered great media coverage throughout the United
States and prompted the creation of the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender
Public Registry.

Murder
At 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 22, 2003, Sjodin, a 22-year-old college
student at the University of North Dakota and Gamma Phi Beta sorority
member, finished her shift at the Victoria's Secret store located in the
Columbia Mall in Grand Forks, North Dakota.[2] After shopping for and
purchasing a new purse from Marshall Field's, Sjodin left the mall and began
walking to her 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass.[3] During this time, Sjodin was
speaking with her boyfriend, Chris Lang, on her cell phone. Ten minutes into
their conversation, Lang reports Sjodin was saying "Okay, okay," before the
call abruptly ended.[4] Lang suspected that the call was just simply dropped
and because Sjodin didn't give any sense of urgency, Lang thought nothing of
it.[5] About three hours later, Lang received another call from her cell
phone, but heard only static and the sound of buttons being pressed.[2] It
was reported by authorities this second phone call originated somewhere near
Fisher, Minnesota,[6] but that has remained unsubstantiated. With this
second call and Sjodin not showing up at her other job at the El Roco
nightclub, there was concern for her whereabouts.[7] A week later, on
December 1, a suspect, 50-year-old registered level-3 sex offender Alfonso
Rodriguez Jr. (born February 18, 1953),[8] was arrested in connection with
Sjodin's disappearance.[2]

Perpetrator
Alfonso Rodriguez Jr.
Born Alfonso Rodriguez Jr.
February 18, 1953 (age 66)
Criminal status Incarcerated
Conviction(s) First degree murder in the death of Dru Sjodin
Criminal penalty Death sentence
Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. was the son of migrant farm workers Dolores and
Alfonso Rodriguez Sr., who traveled between Crystal City, Texas, and
Minnesota and then decided to settle in 1963 in Crookston, Minnesota. He
admitted to using many drugs during his youth and committed his first sexual
assault with a knife when he was twenty-one by attempting to rape a woman he
asked to give him a ride home.[9]

Rodriguez had been released from prison May 1, 2003, after serving a 23-year
prison term for rape, aggravated assault and kidnapping a woman. Rodriguez
had also previously pleaded guilty to rape and was convicted multiple times
for rape. He had a long criminal record that included repeated sexual
assaults against women. He was released as a Minnesota Level 3 sex offender
which meant he was highly likely to reoffend.[10]

Police investigation
According to police reports, Rodriguez admitted being near the Columbia Mall
the night Sjodin disappeared, allegedly viewing the film Once Upon a Time in
Mexico at the Columbia Mall Cinema 4. However, that movie was not playing at
that cinema or any other theater in the area.[11] The police also found
receipts of purchases that Rodriguez had made at several stores near the
mall including one receipt for a knife which he had purchased at a nearby
Menards store. Rodriguez apparently had two tool kit knives that could be
purchased at only a particular home center store which was about one mile
from the mall, but they were not purchased the day Sjodin disappeared and a
purchase date for the knives was never established. Police found a tool kit
knife in Rodriguez's car that was soaking in some type of cleaning solution
inside a rear wheel well. Police also found a woman's shoe and a knife in
the car that had blood on it that matched Sjodin's DNA.[2]

Sjodin's body was recovered on April 17, 2004, just west of Crookston,
Minnesota, when deep snow drifts began to melt.[12][13] Crookston is also
where Rodriguez lived with his mother.[14] Sjodin's body was found partially
nude and face down in a ravine.[15][16] Her hands were tied behind her back
and she had been beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted, and had several
lacerations including a five-and-a-half inch cut on her neck. A rope was
also tied around her neck and remnants of a shopping bag were found under
the rope, suggesting that a bag had been placed on her head. The medical
examiner concluded that she had either died as a result of the major neck
wound, from suffocation, or from exposure to the elements. Thousands of
people had helped search for Sjodin, and hundreds attended her funeral.[6]

Trial and sentencing
The trial was held in federal court because Sjodin was taken across state
lines.[16][17] This meant that Rodriguez was eligible to receive the death
penalty if convicted, a possibility not allowed under North Dakota or
Minnesota law, neither of which has the death penalty. It was the first
death penalty case in a century to take place in North Dakota.[18] U.S.
Attorney Drew Wrigley and Assistant US Attorneys Keith Reisenauer and Norman
Anderson prosecuted the case against Rodriguez. On August 30, 2006,
Rodriguez was convicted in federal court of the murder of Dru Sjodin, and on
September 22, 2006, he was sentenced to death.[19] On February 8, 2007,
Rodriguez was formally sentenced to death and imprisoned at United States
Penitentiary, Terre Haute, Terre Haute, Indiana.[20][21] U.S. District Judge
Ralph Erickson arranged that Rodriguez would be executed in South
Dakota.[22]

Rodriguez maintains that he is innocent. In October 2011, defense attorneys
filed a federal habeas corpus motion claiming that Rodriguez is mentally
disabled.[23]

Legacy
Legislation dubbed "Dru's Law", which set up the Dru Sjodin National Sex
Offender Public Registry, was passed in 2006 and signed into law by
President George W. Bush.

In 2004, a scholarship in Sjodin's name was set up at the University of
North Dakota. Past winners include: Alyson Wilhelmi (2006), Meg Towner
(2007), Rebecca Bahnmiller (2008), Victoria Mauch (2009), Seinquis Slater
(2010), Grace Torguson (2011), Sonja Collin (2012) and Breana Egeland
(2016).[24]

A memorial garden for Sjodin opened in her hometown of Pequot Lakes,
Minnesota,[25] and another is planned for the UND campus.[citation needed]

Rodriguez: History of a sexual predator
More than two decades ago, Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. already was being called a
"dangerous person to society." Arrested in 1974 for kidnapping and sexually
assaulting two Crookston women at knifepoint, he was sent to the state
security hospital in St...
Written By: ***@grandforksherald.com | Dec 3rd 2003 - 12am.

Arrested in 1974 for kidnapping and sexually assaulting two Crookston women
at knifepoint, he was sent to the state security hospital in St. Peter,
Minn.


Days after he left there, in 1980, he stabbed another woman and tried to
kidnap her in Crookston.

After spending 23 years in prison, Rodriguez was released May 1. Monday, he
was arrested and charged with kidnapping UND student Dru Sjodin, 22, who
remains missing.

Court documents tell the story of a man who says he was sexually abused as a
child and who has spent nearly all his adult life in trouble for crimes
against women.


Born Feb. 18, 1953, in Texas, Rodriguez is the second oldest of five
children of migrant workers who moved for 15 years between Texas and the Red
River Valley. His family settled in Crookston in 1963.

He later described his home life as unpleasant and said his parents were
critical of him and unreasonable in their demands. Rodriguez said he used
alcohol and drugs growing up, including acid, hash and marijuana.


Not proficient in English, Rodriguez dropped out of school in ninth or 10th
grade to work at American Crystal Sugar Co.'s factory in Crookston.

In 1973, he sought help for anxiety and depression. He said then that he had
made several obscene phone calls to women, according to a psychological
report from the Minnesota Security Hospital in St. Peter.

By the end of 1974, Rodriguez was in court pleading guilty to rape and
attempted rape.

He had approached a woman in October 1974 in Crookston, asking for a ride
home. She agreed. He directed her to a driveway, grabbed her by the throat,
pulled her back in the car when she tried to get out and tried to rape her.

A month later, Rodriguez offered to help a woman start her vehicle when she
came out of a Crookston theater. Rodriguez forced his way into the truck,
drove her into the country, threatened her with a knife and raped her.

He was sent to the sex offender treatment program at St. Peter in 1975. A
1976 psychological report says Rodriguez appeared to be suffering from "an
alcoholic personality disorder with some paranoid, schizoid and antisocial
tendencies."

Rodriguez reported at the time that he was sexually aggressive but that it
wasn't a problem to control the feelings.

April 9, 1980, he was released on a pass to his parents' Crookston home.
April 13, he stepped out of a car and asked a woman for directions on a
Crookston street. She said he grabbed her arm and told her: "Get in the car
or I'm going to kill you."

When she struggled, Rodriguez stabbed her. The knife blade went completely
through her left arm. He also stabbed her in the abdomen.

He was convicted of attempted kidnapping and aggravated assault. At his
sentencing in June 1980, Rodriguez and his attorney asked he be sent back to
St. Peter instead of prison. "Well, I guess I always will need treatment of
some kind, and I would benefit from it," Rodriguez said in response to why
it would be a benefit to return to the hospital.

The presiding judge told Rodriguez he appeared to have a severe problem.

"I don't know whether it is emotional or whatever it is but it is something
that you apparently have no control over," he said. "Until such time as
there is some medical proof, Mr. Rodriguez, that something has taken place
with you that will prevent you from acting out in this way, you should not
be allowed to roam free in our society."

The only treatment Rodriguez received during the next 23 years in prison was
in 1981, for chemical dependency. He refused sex offender treatment.

In February 2001, Rodriguez was evaluated in expectation of his May 2003
release. The psychologist recommended< cm+RDcory:to the three-member
screening board that -RD>Rodriguez not be civilly committed, which would
have placed him in a state hospital indefinitely, and the board concurred.

"To put that in perspective ... he was not recommended for civil commitment
based on the fact that he had been in prison for 23 years, unlike most sex
offenders he had not acted at all sexually (in prison) and he was then 50
years of age and most of the data shows that recidivism is less likely the
older the offender gets," Minnesota Department of Corrections Commissioner
Joan Fabian said Tuesday. "So, with those standards at that time, it was not
referred."

Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations

Harvey Weinstein in 2011
In October 2017, The New York Times and The New Yorker reported that dozens
of women accused American film producer Harvey Weinstein, formerly of
Miramax Films and The Weinstein Company (TWC), of rape, sexual assault and
sexual abuse over a period of at least thirty years. Over eighty women in
the film industry have since accused Weinstein of such acts. Weinstein
denied "any non-consensual sex." Shortly after, he was dismissed from TWC,
expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and other
professional associations, and retired from public view.

Criminal investigations into complaints from at least six women are ongoing
in Los Angeles, New York City, and London, England. On May 25, 2018,
Weinstein was arrested in New York, charged with rape and other offenses,
and released on bail.[1]

The Times and the New Yorker were awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public
Service for their coverage of Weinstein. The scandal triggered many similar
allegations against powerful men around the world, and led to the ousting of
many of them from their positions. It also led a great number of women to
share their own experiences of sexual assault, harassment, or rape on social
media under the hashtag #MeToo. The scandal's impact on powerful men in
various industries came to be called the "Weinstein effect".

Background
Harvey Weinstein and his brother, Bob Weinstein, formed the film production
company Miramax and led the company from 1979 to 2005.[2] In March 2005, the
Weinsteins founded The Weinstein Company (TWC) and departed from Miramax
that September.[3][4]

Rumors of Harvey Weinstein's "casting couch" practices circulated in
Hollywood for years, and entertainment figures at times alluded to them.[5]
As early as 1998, Gwyneth Paltrow said on Late Show with David Letterman
that Weinstein "will coerce you to do a thing or two."[5] In 2005, Courtney
Love advised young actresses in an interview, "If Harvey Weinstein invites
you to a private party in the Four Seasons, don't go."[6] In 2010, an
article titled "Harvey's Girls"[7] for Pajiba alluded to Weinstein's
"casting couch" reputation: "Every few years, Harvey picks a new girl as his
pet."[5] In 2012, a character on the TV series 30 Rock said: "I'm not afraid
of anyone in show business, I turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein
on no less than three occasions, out of five."[5] While announcing the 2013
nominees for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award, Seth MacFarlane
joked: "Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be
attracted to Harvey Weinstein."[5] After the allegations were published,
director Quentin Tarantino said that he had known about Weinstein harassing
actresses for decades, and had confronted him about it.[8] Ivana Lowell
wrote in her book Why Not Say What Happened?, published in 2010, about
misbehavior by Weinstein when she worked for the books division of Miramax.
The incidents described were in her office when she was alone with Harvey
Weinstein, and in her home when a female friend of hers was present. She
wrote that she "knew about Harvey's reputation as a womanizer; tales of his
trying to seduce every young actress in town were infamous."[9]

Journalists wrote or attempted to write about Weinstein's alleged behavior.
David Carr found that no one allegedly assaulted by Weinstein would speak on
the record; Ken Auletta and his editors decided he could not mention an
assault allegation without cooperation from the victim.[10] In 2015, Jordan
Sargent wrote in his Gawker article, "Tell Us What You Know About Harvey
Weinstein's 'Open Secret,"[11] that "rumors of the powerful producer
leveraging his industry power for sexual satisfaction—consensual or
otherwise—have tended to remain unaired, confined to hushed conversation and
seedier gossip-blog comment threads."[5] The New York Times later wrote that
Weinstein had built a "wall of invulnerability", in part through his support
of leading Democratic politicians. He boasted being friends with Bill and
Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. The Clintons continued longstanding close
relationships with him despite alleged warnings about Weinstein to Hillary
Clinton's presidential campaign from Lena Dunham and Tina Brown.[10]

In 2015 The New York Times reported that Weinstein was questioned by police
"after a 22-year-old woman accused him of touching her inappropriately."[12]
The woman, Italian model Ambra Gutierrez, cooperated with the New York City
Police Department (NYPD) to obtain an audio recording where Weinstein
admitted to having inappropriately touched her.[13] As the police
investigation progressed and became public, tabloids published negative
stories about Gutierrez that portrayed her as an opportunist.[14][15]
American Media, publisher of the National Enquirer, allegedly agreed to help
suppress the allegations by Gutierrez and Rose McGowan.[10] Manhattan
District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. decided not to file charges against
Weinstein, citing insufficient evidence of criminal intent,[15] against the
advice of local police who considered the evidence sufficient.[16] The New
York district attorney's office and the NYPD blamed each other for failing
to bring charges.[16]

In July 2018, after many allegations and criminal charges of sexual
misconduct, Greek journalist Taki Theodoracopulos reported by The Spectator
that his friend Weinstein told him in an interview, "Yes, I did offer them
[girls] acting jobs in exchange for sex, but so did and still does
everyone."[17] Weinstein's lawyer later said he had been present, and
Weinstein did not make that statement. Theodoracopulos stated he "may have
misrepresented" Weinstein.[18] The tendentious Weinstein quotes and some of
the author's observations were later removed from the article which only
appeared on the magazine's website.[19]

2017 reports
Substantial allegations of sexual misconduct by Weinstein were first
reported by The New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey on
October 5, 2017. The story accused Weinstein of three decades of sexually
harassing and paying eight settlements to actresses and female production
assistants, temps, and other employees who worked at Miramax and The
Weinstein Company.[15][20] The investigation, which came on the heels of a
successful exposé of Bill O'Reilly by the Times, had taken roughly five
months.[21]

Five days later, on October 10, longtime NBC News correspondent Ronan Farrow
reported in The New Yorker further allegations that Weinstein had sexually
assaulted or harassed thirteen women, and raped three.[22] Farrow said he
had wanted to break the story months earlier with NBC but implied the
network was under pressure not to publish,[23] which NBC denied.[24]
According to Farrow, sixteen former or current executives and assistants
connected with Weinstein said they had witnessed or had been informed of
Weinstein's non-consensual sexual advances to women. Four actresses relayed
their suspicion that, after rejecting Weinstein's advances and complaining
about him, he had them removed from projects or persuaded others to remove
them. A number of Farrow's sources said Weinstein had referred to his
success in planting stories in the media about individuals who had crossed
him. The New Yorker also published the 2015 audio recording in which
Weinstein admits to groping Gutierrez.[22]

In November 2016, Farrow reported Weinstein had, through the lawyer David
Boies, employed the private intelligence agencies Kroll, Black Cube and
private investigator Jack Palladino. They were charged with spying on and
influencing Weinstein's alleged victims as well as Kantor, Twohey, Farrow
and other reporters who were investigating Weinstein so as to prevent his
conduct from becoming public.[10][25][26]

Accusers
Since the initial reporting in 2017, over eighty[27] women have accused
Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault or rape. In November 2017, a group
of the alleged victims, led by Italian actress Asia Argento, released a list
of over a hundred alleged instances of sexual abuse by Weinstein.[28][29]
The incidents in the list date from 1980 to 2015 and include eighteen
allegations of rape.[28]

According to the women's reports, Weinstein invited young actresses or
models into a hotel room or office on the pretext of discussing their
career, and then he demanded massages or sex.[30] He told them that
complying with his demands would help their careers and repeatedly claimed
to have had sex with Paltrow, unbeknownst to the actress.[10]

Former colleagues and collaborators of Weinstein told reporters that these
activities were enabled by employees, associates and agents who set up these
meetings, as well as lawyers and publicists who suppressed complaints with
payments and threats.[30] Bob Weinstein, for example, was allegedly involved
in three settlements with accusers, the first in 1990. One Miramax executive
reported being harassed by Weinstein after being promoted and praised by
him; she and other employees allegedly found that the HR department
protected Weinstein more than they did his employees.[10]

Rape
The women who have accused Weinstein of rape include:

Lysette Anthony told British police in October 2017 that Weinstein raped her
in the late 1980s at her home in London.[99]
Asia Argento told The New Yorker that in 1997, Weinstein invited her into a
hotel room, "pulled her skirt up, forced her legs apart, and performed oral
sex on her as she repeatedly told him to stop."[22]
Paz de la Huerta said Weinstein had raped her on two separate occasions in
November and December 2010.[46]
Lucia Evans said, after a business meeting in 2004, Weinstein forced her to
perform oral sex on him.[22]
Hope Exiner d'Amore, a former employee of Weinstein, said he raped her
during a business trip to New York in the late 1970s.[37]
According to Mimi Haleyi, a production crew member, Weinstein forcibly
performed oral sex on her in his New York City apartment in 2006 when she
was in her twenties.[100]
Dominique Huett said Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her and then
carried out another sexual act in front of her.[101]
Natassia Malthe said in 2008, Weinstein barged into her London hotel room at
night and raped her.[72][102]
Rose McGowan wrote on Twitter that she told the Amazon Studios head Roy
Price Weinstein had raped her, but Price ignored this and continued
collaborating with Weinstein.[103] Price later resigned from his post
following sexual harassment allegations against him.[104]
Annabella Sciorra said, in the early 1990s, Weinstein forced himself into
her apartment, shoved her onto her bed and raped her.[61][105]
Melissa Thompson, a tech entrepreneur, told Sky News Weinstein raped her in
his hotel room following a business meeting in 2011.[106][107][108]
An unnamed woman told The New Yorker that Weinstein invited her into a hotel
room on a pretext, and "forced himself on [her] sexually" despite her
protests.[22]
An unnamed actress told the Los Angeles Times that in 2013, Weinstein
"bullied his way" into her hotel room, grabbed her by the hair, dragged her
into the bathroom and raped her.[109]
An unnamed actress sued Weinstein for sexual battery and assault, alleging
that in 2016 he forced her into sex.[110]
Weinstein's response
In response to The New York Times report, Weinstein said: "I appreciate the
way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I
sincerely apologize for it." He said he was due to take a sabbatical and was
working with therapists to "deal with this issue head on."[20] His
consulting lawyer, Lisa Bloom, described him as "an old dinosaur learning
new ways." Bloom was criticized for her handling of Weinstein's defense and
ended her involvement for Weinstein on October 7, 2017.[111] Two days later,
Weinstein hired public relations company Sitrick and Company, which
specializes in crisis PR;[112] they dropped Weinstein as a client on April
3, 2018.[113] Weinstein's attorney Charles Harder, who was then known for
filing the suit that bankrupted Gawker, said his client would be suing the
Times,[114] but as of October 15, 2017, Harder was no longer working for
Weinstein.[115]

In response to the report in The New Yorker, a spokesperson for Weinstein
stated:[22]

Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr.
Weinstein. Mr. Weinstein has further confirmed that there were never any
acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances ... Mr.
Weinstein has begun counseling, has listened to the community and is
pursuing a better path. Mr. Weinstein is hoping that if he makes enough
progress, he will be given a second chance.

Subsequent reports and accusations of rape were likewise met with the
response that "any allegations of nonconsensual sex are unequivocally denied
by Mr. Weinstein."[37]

On January 30, 2018, Weinstein's attorney released private e-mails from Ben
Affleck and Jill Messick, Rose McGowan's former manager, that both
contradicted McGowan's version of the incident.[116][117] On February 7,
2018 Messick committed suicide.[118] Both the released e-mails and McGowan's
own accusations against Messick led to increased negative public and media
attention towards Messick, including cyberbullying.[119] Messick's family
blamed Weinstein, McGowan, the media and the public for her death.[120]

In March 2018, Weinstein's lawyer and spokesperson Benjamin Brafman said in
an interview with The Times of London:

The casting couch in Hollywood was not invented by Harvey Weinstein. … If a
woman decides that she needs to have sex with a Hollywood producer to
advance her career and actually does it and finds the whole thing offensive,
that's not rape." Rhetorically addressing such a woman, Brafman said, "You
made a conscious decision that you're willing to do something that is
personally offensive in order to advance your career.[121]

Legal response
Criminal investigations
In October 2017, the New York City Police Department (NYPD), London's
Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and the Los Angeles Police Department
(LAPD) were reviewing allegations against Weinstein following reports about
his conduct.[122]

New York indictments
On November 3, 2017, the NYPD were preparing a warrant to arrest Weinstein
for his alleged rape of Paz de la Huerta, an investigation still pending as
of May 2018 and unrelated to the later arrest of Weinstein.[123][124]

On May 25, 2018, Weinstein was charged by New York prosecutors with "rape,
criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for incidents involving
two separate women." After surrendering to police, he appeared in court
before Judge Kevin McGrath. If convicted on the most serious charges,
Weinstein could face between five and twenty-five years in prison.[125]
Weinstein was released same day on a $1 million bail. He agreed to surrender
his passport and wear an ankle monitor confining him to Connecticut and New
York. His lawyer Benjamin Brafman said Weinstein intends to plead not
guilty.[126][125]

In July 2018, Weinstein was indicted on an additional charge of "predatory
sexual assault" against a woman he allegedly forced into oral sex in 2006.
The charge has a maximum sentence of life in prison.[127] On October 11,
2018 a judge dismissed one of the sex assault charges.[128] On April 26,
2019, the trial date was set to September 9, 2019.[129] On August 26, 2019,
however, the trial date was delayed to January 6, 2020.[130]

Other investigations
The LAPD investigation concerns an allegation of rape by an unnamed
actress.[109]

As of February 2018, London police were investigating fifteen alleged sexual
assaults by Weinstein, dating back to the 1990s. The investigation is dubbed
"Operation Kaguyak."[131]

Civil lawsuits
On October 23, 2017, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman opened a
civil rights investigation into The Weinstein Company (TWC). He issued a
subpoena for records related to sexual harassment and discrimination
complaints at the company.[132]

In January 2018, Weinstein's former personal assistant Sandeep Rehal sued
both Weinstein brothers and TWC for discrimination and harassment, alleging
that much of her work involved "catering to Harvey Weinstein's sexual
appetites and activities", including working while he was naked. Weinstein
denied these allegations.[133]

On April 30, 2018, Ashley Judd sued Weinstein for allegedly making false
statements about her after she rejected his sexual requests, which damaged
her career and cost her a role in a Lord of the Rings movie.[134]

On May 24, 2019, multiple press reports stated Weinstein had offered to
settle civil lawsuits against him for $44 million.[135][136][137]

Reactions
See also: Me Too movement
Weinstein's alleged actions were widely criticized by prominent persons in
entertainment and politics. They triggered a public discussion about, as the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) put it, "willful
ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behavior and
workplace harassment" in the film industry.[138]

Business and professional associations
On October 8, 2017, The Weinstein Company's (TWC) board of directors
dismissed Weinstein,[139] and he resigned from the company's board nine days
later.[140]

After Weinstein's ouster was announced, several companies ended their
collaborations with TWC, including Apple (October 9),[141] Hachette (October
12),[142] Amazon (October 13),[143] Lexus and Ovation (October 25).[144] The
AMPAS, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), the
Producers Guild of America (PGA), and the Academy of Television Arts &
Sciences (ATAS) also stripped Weinstein of their
memberships.[138][145][146][147][148]

Politics
Prominent politicians condemned Weinstein's actions. Hillary Clinton, Barack
Obama and Michelle Obama denounced Weinstein's reported behavior on October
10, 2017.[149] French President Emmanuel Macron initiated the revocation of
Weinstein's Legion of Honour title.[150] In the UK, Labour members of
parliament requested the revocation of Weinstein's Commander of the Order of
the British Empire honorary title.[151]

Several politicians Weinstein had supported gave his donations to charities,
including Democratic Senators Al Franken,[152] Patrick Leahy, and Martin
Heinrich.[153]

Other reactions
Weinstein's wife Georgina Chapman announced her divorce on October 10,
2017.[154] That month, the University at Buffalo, Weinstein's alma mater,
revoked his honorary degree,[155] and Harvard University rescinded
Weinstein's 2014 W. E. B. Du Bois medal.[156]

On New Year's Day 2018, more than three hundred Hollywood actresses and
other women published an open letter in the daily newspapers The New York
Times and La Opinión appealing to support the initiative Time's
Up.[157][158][159]

American recording artist Madonna, who has worked with Weinstein in her
films, said in an interview for The New York Times Magazine, "Harvey crossed
lines and boundaries and was incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward
with me when we were working together." She also said she was aware of his
behavior like a lot of other women in the entertainment business, but
because he was powerful and successful, few spoke out against him.[160][161]

Impact
Main article: Weinstein effect
In the United States
The October 2017 allegations against Weinstein precipitated an immediate
"national reckoning" against sexual harassment and assault in the United
States,[162] known as the "Weinstein effect." Compounded by other sexual
harassment cases earlier in the year, the Weinstein reports and the
subsequent "#MeToo" hashtag campaign, which encouraged individuals to share
their suppressed stories of sexual misconduct, created a cavalcade of
allegations across multiple industries that brought about the swift ousting
of many men in positions of power both in the United States and, as it
spread, around the world.[163][164]

On October 15, 2017, deceased actress Misty Upham's father, Charles Upham,
went public with allegations that his daughter was raped by a member of
Weinstein's production team at the same Golden Globes ceremony where she was
honored for her work on one of Weinstein's films, and that other members of
Weinstein's team had not only witnessed the rape but had cheered the
rapist.[165][166]

In the entertainment industry, allegations led to the ousting of actors and
directors alike. Most prominently, actor Kevin Spacey, comedian Louis C.K.,
and filmmaker Brett Ratner had projects canceled following at least six
allegations apiece.[167] Over two hundred women accused filmmaker James
Toback of sexual harassment.[164] In journalism, allegations led to the
expelling of editors, publishers, executives, and hosts. In other
industries, celebrity chef John Besh and other executives in finance and
public relations were removed.[164][167] As of November 25, 2017, the Los
Angeles Police Department was investigating twenty-eight sex crime cases
involving media figures.[168]

Time magazine dubbed the "Silence Breakers" behind the #MeToo movement Time
Person of the Year in 2017.[169] American journalists in conversation at NPR
wrote of the series of allegations feeling like a tipping point for societal
treatment of sexual misconduct, distinguished from prior sexual misconduct
public debates by the public trust put in the celebrity accusers, as opposed
to prior cases of publicly unknown accusers.[170] Other journalists doubted
that the trend would hold.[164]

In April 2018, The New York Times and The New Yorker were awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for Public Service "for their coverage of the sexual abuse of
women in Hollywood and other industries around the world."[171]

In 2019, the documentary Untouchable was released, featuring interviews from
several of Weinstein's accusers, including Rosanna Arquette and Paz de la
Huerta.[172] On September 10, 2019, a nonfiction book written by Jodi Kantor
and Megan Twohey called She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That
Helped Ignite a Movement was published, which follows the process of their
investigation, both behind the scenes and in public.

Internationally
The "Me Too" campaign spread to other countries and languages over social
media in Asia, Europe, Latin and North America.[173]

In North America, Canadian comedy festival founder Gilbert Rozon resigned
and over a dozen individuals accused Quebec television host and producer
Éric Salvail of sexual misconduct.[174]

In Europe, allegations against multiple British politicians created a public
scandal and led to the suspension and resignations of three officials. In
France,[175] political organizations close to the Socialist Party, in
particular the Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF), were accused
of systemic sexual harassment. The French daily newspaper Le Monde published
in November 2017 two articles on alleged sexual harassment and predation
supported by former UNEF presidents, Jean-Baptiste Prévost and Emmanuel
Zemmour.[176][177] In an editorial, more than eighty UNEF female members and
militants came forward to accuse the Union of "sexual violence".[178]

Blanchett said she was harassed by Weinstein but did not specify details.
