History

Historical Context

The 2020 conviction of film mogul Harvey Weinstein—sentenced to 23 years after more than 80 women testified—gave legal weight to the #MeToo movement that began with the 2017 Weinstein scandal. Building on that precedent, Miami prosecutors in July 2024 expanded influencer Andrew Tate’s case to 59 counts, signaling a growing willingness to pursue high-profile digital figures.
