In 2017, Ronan Farrow published a groundbreaking report in The New Yorker with firsthand accounts from women who alleged that they were the victims of harrowing sexual harassment and assault by the powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Farrow’s piece, along with reporting by the Times, helped launch the #MeToo movement and ushered in a new way of thinking about sexual harassment in the workplace. Today, after a months-long trial, Weinstein was found guilty of two charges: felony sex crime and third-degree rape. He was acquitted of three other charges, including predatory sexual assault. Below you’ll find a selection of pieces that The New Yorker has published in the past two years on Weinstein and on the brave women who have come forward with their stories.
