Want to own part of the company that makes your favorite burger?
00:00:04.580
With partial shares from TD Direct Investing, you can own less than one full share,
00:00:15.800
You know, I'm beginning to believe that we might need an entirely separate judicial system
00:00:23.760
because the details of this next woman's relationship with Harvey Weinstein,
00:00:27.100
for which he earned, by the way, three years in prison,
00:00:39.180
Outside of a situation of captivity, right, a true horrific criminal captivity,
00:00:53.940
That may be a situation where you're living with someone, you have no power.
00:00:57.260
But how does somebody who's free to roam wherever they want,
00:01:00.560
never knew this person until they were 27 years old,
00:01:04.780
Because that's apparently what happened to Jessica Mann.
00:01:06.820
She claims that's what happened to her, sexual assaults for five years.
00:01:10.460
So I'm just going to roll right into this episode three of Harvey Speaks.
00:01:14.120
So first and foremost, I want to explain something to you guys
00:01:27.860
that may not have been clear in previous episodes
00:01:31.940
what would be the reason that any woman might subject herself
00:01:46.080
And clearly, Gloria Allred, who I should mention,
00:01:48.680
represented these women for free in these criminal cases.
00:02:06.060
you can't go after a company or sue somebody civilly for rape
00:02:10.240
unless you at first secure a criminal conviction.
00:02:13.800
So you essentially can't go after their insurance company
00:02:16.640
if you're going after the Weinstein Company for millions
00:02:19.360
which there was this large settlement that was given
00:02:23.720
There has you have to go the criminal route at first.
00:02:26.160
And I want to be also clear about Gloria Allred,
00:02:28.640
who presents herself as some sort of a Me Too martyr.
00:02:31.080
She tends to represent women on the criminal side for free,
00:02:38.120
that they then secure from the man or the business
00:02:48.700
Wasn't she the lawyer that was on the Tiger Woods case?
00:02:53.580
She absolutely loves these sorts of allegations
00:03:01.220
who, for the sake of this hypothetical argument,
00:03:10.200
and the lifestyle that you had imagined in your mind
00:03:13.060
that you would get for that sort of a sacrifice,
00:04:10.980
So even if you consented to something at the time,
00:04:19.180
but if in your mind while the act was taking place,
00:04:24.560
well, who's to say whether or not it was true consent?
00:04:29.860
Perfect time for you guys to meet Jessica Mann.
00:04:36.900
and she is indeed the woman who put Harvey away
00:04:43.420
Not aggravated sexual assault, for actual rape.
00:05:01.540
I think they're always thinking of a 17-year-old
00:05:20.700
She grew up on a dairy farm in Washington State.
00:05:24.380
She had a tumultuous relationship with her father,
00:05:33.220
tend to have bad relationships with their fathers.
00:05:56.660
she immediately felt pressured to have sex with him.
00:06:23.320
obviously, you imagine that's very traumatizing.
00:07:22.180
But that in those initial agreed to encounters,
