A civil case brought by an actress against Harvey Weinstein will be on temporary hold while the disgraced producer's criminal conviction for the same 2013 Beverly Hills attack against his accuser is on appeal, a judge ruled Thursday.The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe No. 1 in the Santa Monica Superior Court lawsuit filed in February 2023, alleges sexual battery, false imprisonment, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
'After Weinstein has exhausted his appellate rights and if his convictions are affirmed, Doe can use those appellate decisions to establish finality that the sexual assault occurred, rendering liability discovery for the rape moot, Doe's lawyers further contended.But in their court papers, Weinstein's attorneys, who include Bill Cosby lawyer Jennifer Bonjean, said Doe's motion showed that the plaintiff has problematic issues with her case.
