Lawyer frustrated by no grand jury yet in Weinstein case
NEW YORK — The lawyer for an actress who accused Harvey Weinstein of rape said Friday that she is frustrated prosecutors have not yet brought criminal charges.
“Boardwalk Empire” actress Paz de la Huerta publicly accused the movie producer of raping her twice in 2010. She began speaking with police about the accusation in late October.
Her lawyer, Carrie Goldberg, said that by now she expected the case would at least have gone before a grand jury, which would decide whether or not to indict Weinstein.
“We are deeply concerned about the foot-dragging in convening the grand jury,” Goldberg said in an email.
