A bill introduced to the New York Assembly will allow prosecutors to use a defendant's prior sexual assault history to be used as evidence in a sexual assault proceeding, allowing prosecutors to establish a pattern of behavior of a defendant's "bad acts." The bill was written in direct response to the overturning of Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes conviction in New York at the end of April 2024.

Attorney Gloria Allred, who represented a woman whose testimony made up the first-degree criminal sexual act charge, told CNN last week she believes legislation is necessary to help clarify the current law. "I think it's important for the New York Legislature to pass a specific statute in New York, which more clearly defines the admission of 'prior bad acts' witnesses and their testimony in New York, and is more protective of victims' rights in sex crimes criminal cases," Allred said.
