12.12.19 Spring Hill Insider – “Cosby Prosecutor Wanted to Call 13 Women Accusers. Judge Says He Can Call 1.” A Montgomery County judge ruled Friday that he would allow only one additional accuser to testify at Mr. Cosby’s sexual assault trial.

Attorney Gloria Allred represents the lone accuser whose testimony Judge O’Neill has cleared for trial. In a statement on Friday, Ms. Allred said that “even though [the others] will not be able to testify in this case, they have been very important in the effort to seek justice.”

04.27.24 AP - Retrial of Harvey Weinstein unlikely to occur soon, if ever, experts say. The daunting path to a new trial was clear Friday when Miriam Haley, one of two women at the heart of the charges against Weinstein, said during an electronic news conference that she "will consider testifying again, should there be another trial," but declined to commit to a new trial when questioned further about it. During the news conference with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, Haley said the appeals ruling was "a terrible decision that sends an extremely disheartening message to victims of sexual assaults everywhere."
03.16.24 World Time Todays - "Samantha Geimer believes victims are anti-feminist." Samantha Geimer was 13 when she was raped by film director, Roman Polanski, in 1977. The attack has followed both Geimer and Polanski throughout their lives and Geimer has developed seemingly unorthodox beliefs about her abuser over the decades. In an interview with Polanski's wife, Emmanuelle Seigner, Geimer claims the #MeToo movement can humiliate women by labeling them as victims, stating "I don't understand what's so feminist about being a victim." Not all of Polanski's victims take the same stance as Geimer, including victim, Jane Doe, who filed her lawsuit against Polanski with her attorney, Gloria Allred, in Los Angeles in March of 2024.

Polanski, who was not present at Tuesday's hearing, faces charges that he defamed Lewis after she accused him of abusing her in the 1980s. In 2010, Lewis said she decided to speak out to counter suggestions from Polanski's legal team that the 1977 rape case was an isolated incident. She spoke in the Los Angeles offices of Gloria Allred, a high-profile attorney who has also represented women accusing US producer Harvey Weinstein, sitcom star Bill Cosby and former US president Donald Trump.
