In a shocking turn of events, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has announced that they will be discontinuing the indecent assault charges against disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein. The decision comes after a thorough review of the evidence and witness statements.

Weinstein, 69, was accused of indecently assaulting two women in London in the 1980s. The charges were filed in December 2019, and the case was set to go to trial in January 2023.

The CPS stated that the decision to discontinue the charges was made after careful consideration and a thorough review of the evidence. However, the exact reasons for the decision have not been disclosed.

Weinstein’s legal team has welcomed the decision, saying that it is a "just and fair outcome." However, the victims’ lawyers have expressed disappointment and frustration at the decision, saying that it is a "betrayal" of the victims’ trust.

The decision to discontinue the charges has sparked widespread outrage and disbelief, with many calling for justice to be served. The #MeToo movement, which was sparked by allegations of sexual misconduct against Weinstein, has been vocal in its criticism of the decision.

Weinstein’s legal team has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, and he has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
