the charges against Harvey Weinstein similar to each other. Three out of four women (who remain anonymous from the press) accused Weinstein of rape in the hotel rooms. The only difference is the location of the crime and his year: the earliest offense dates back to 1984 at the latest – 2013. Opportunity to file a claim after three decades came through the law of the state of new York, where it is noted, that sexual crimes have no Statute of limitations.
