    It seems to be working for Bernie.

    But seriously, I don't expect either one of them to still be among the living in 3 years.

    Harvey should have done his dirty deeds in Costa Rica.

    "Doing time" doesn't mean much there.

    Man who raped a dog pleads “Don’t take it away from me, it’s my girlfriend”
    If convicted, the man faces up to 8 months in prison

    By
    Rico 23 February 2020

    A 55-year-old homeless man, identified by his last names Rojas Araya, could become the first person to be convicted for mistreating, or rather raping, a dog whom he considered his girlfriend, as one of the witnesses narrated.

    Rojas, who has been in pretrial detention since last December, was sitting in the hot chair of the Pavas Criminal Court on Friday, listening to witnesses testifying against him.

    According to the report by La Teja, prosecutor Claudia Villafuerte said it was clear that Rojas raped the dog twice in October 2017, in San Josecito de Alajuelita, and that the events had been witnessed by several people.

    Ángela Quesada Abarca, a resident of Alajuelita, San Jose, in her eye-witness testimony told the judge, in a strong tone, how, on October 18, 2017, she saw the defendant rape the dog at the edge of the street.

    “It was about six o’clock in the morning and I was in a taxi on my way home when the taxi driver told me ‘see! see!'” Quesada Abarca detailed, with great detail, what the accused was doing to the animal.

    The woman described that, when discovered, the defendant fled to a vacant lot and the dog followed him, with difficulties.

    Quesada added that she tried to file a complaint with the Fuerza Publica (police), but they put up many obstacles.

    A second witness, Joselyn Hidalgo Mena, testified on the second sexual attack of a dog by the defendant, occurring on October 27, 2018.

    “I was driving with my ex-boyfriend to my house when we saw that he (Rojas) was at the edge of the street raping a dog. (The dog) was screaming, you could tell it wasn’t having a good time,” said Hidalgo.

    If convicted, the man faces up to 8 months in prison – 4 months for each of the two counts of rape
    In the trial, Pablo Castro Castro, Joselyn’s ex-boyfriend, also gave testimony, corroborating the young woman’s version.

    Both told the judge that after witnessing the abuse they were so shocked that they went to the Alajuelita police delegation.

    “About forty minutes after, the officers arrived with him (Rojas) in a “perrera” (paddy wagon) and I heard him say ‘don’t take it (the dog) away from me it is my girlfriend’, that made me even more furious”, Castro recalled with a strong tone in his voice.

    More witnesses gave their testimony. The “zaguatica” (street dog), named Ala by the Asociación para el Bienestar y el Amparo Animal (ABAA) – Association for Animal Welfare and Protection – not to be victimized again, was not present in the court or called to give witness.

    While Rojas, who has been in preventive detention since his arrest, Ala is being well cared for at a Coronado shelter for animals.

    On Monday, the trial is expected to end and the prosecutor’s office to ask for a sentence of four months prison for each count of rape – a total of eight months – against Rojas.

    Harvey Weinstein Nominated For Best Actor In His Role As Crippled Old Pervert
    January 14, 2020 - BREAKING NEWS, ENTERTAINMENT

    [​IMG]AMERICAN film producer and now actor Harvey Weinstein joins Jonathan Pryce, Antonio Banderas, Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Driver and Joaquin Phoenix as a Best Actor Oscar nominee for his role as a crippled old pervert, WWN can confirm.

    Tipped to win the Oscar for best actor for his ongoing performance at a New York court, Weinstein plays the role of a filthy power hungry scumbag pretending to be an innocent frail old man. His performance sees him shuffling into his own trial, where is accused of rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct, on a zimmer frame in a bid to garner sympathy from the public.

    “It’s very hard to act like you’re acting bad, but Weinstein nails it,” one film critic tweeted, “his ability to incite nothing but pure hatred for his character is second to none, and even makes Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker look like a four-year-old playing Pontius Pilate in a school play”.

    A method actor, Weinstein apparently has stayed in character for the role of crippled old pervert for several months now, but sources close to the 67-year-old claim he has being portraying an old pervert for 30 years.

    “Harvey really threw himself into the role in the mid 80s, raping, sexually harassing and manipulating vulnerable young actresses into acts they would not have normally done,” recalled one source we spoke to.

    In the Best Documentary category ‘We Had No Idea’, a movie which interviews everyone in Hollywood who turned a blind eye to what they knew was going on, is favourite to pick up an award.

    'I feel remorse for all the men going through the #MeToo fight': Rapist Harvey Weinstein's astonishing last dig at his accusers before he is jailed for 23 years as his emotional accusers celebrate justice and his lawyer blasts the sentence as 'obscene'
    • Harvey Weinstein, 67, was sentenced on Wednesday in New York to 23 years in prison in a landmark #MeToo case
    • He was sentenced to 20 years on the criminal sex act charge for forcibly performing oral sex on production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006
    • Weinstein was sentenced to three years for third degree rape for the attack on Jessica Mann in 2013
    • Weinstein, who maintained a blank face throughout, was wheeled out of the courtroom as soon as the sentence was handed down
    • He told the court before he was sentenced that he felt 'remorse for all of the men who are going through this fight'
    • Weinstein also said he was 'confused' and that he believed he had serious relationships with Mann and Haleyi
    • Mann, Haleyi and four other accusers who were in court sobbed and hugged each other after the sentence was read out
    • Weinstein's defense attorney Donna Rotunno slammed the judge and jury outside court, saying the trial was totally unfair

    I do wonder which actresses sucked his dick to get ahead in their career. I'm guessing there are quite a few snobby A-list types who did so.

    Hopefully he goes scorched earth and tells all.
