True, they did not react immediately - because of fear, because back then it was convenient not to, you name it...
Does it mean they did forever lose the right to talk about what happened?

What if I just want to get my own back? The other one - let's say you to get some feelings into this and that is exactly the point: Feelings have no place in legal matters, a fact people just don't seem to grasp - just goes to jail for nothing?

It seems that Asia Argento, like Rose McGowan, was photographed at a film première nestled smiling against Harvey Weinstein several years after she claims to have been raped by him (according to their Wikipedia pages, Argento claims he raped her when she was 21 (so 1996/1997) and McGowan claims he raped her in 1997).
" Argento and her alleged rapist Weinstein at the premiere of The Heart is Deceitful at Cannes in 2004" ( source article):

Of course, had this happened in most other US states or countries, there would have been no problem.

She should have said clearly, assertively and into the microphone: "Please remove your hand". That's all it would have taken.
To me that is the normal thing to do. To those it wasn't so far, the me too movement should give them the confidence to do it now.

You can see the shock in her face. You're right HE is in a church, at a memorial service. This is why I do, I really, really do think so!
What the general suggestion? She should whine about in in 2058?
This was the safest place for her to politely (but effectively) put him in place.

Yes, Curley, that would have been very effective.
It is, however, very hard to put into action when one is in freeze shock mode.
And also she may not have wanted to be disrespectful, not wanting to make the memorial (an occasion to pay one's respects to the deceased, to commemorate their achievements and person) turn to be about her person instead.

If she said this had happened off camera we wouldn't have believed her, lol! The look at her face says it all.. shock that this is happening, disbelief.
Yep, I am older, as are you, an assertive f-off, no problem.
But if I was 20, I would've stood there just like her dumbstruck and thought is he really doing this?

Perhaps some pepper spray, and then excuse herself saying that she thought it was perfume!

We will wait for the male species to become perfect (the part that isn't yet) by itself and until the doelike female species can live safely we dry their tears and support the believe that these situations are utterly unexpected and never witnessed before and therefore not manageable.
The only difference from when I was 20 and now is that when I was 20 I would have slapped his paw off and now I'd look him in the eye and tell him to get his hands off.
But as I said, off I trudge with my strange ways of handling problems. | Quote: | |  | | | Perhaps some pepper spray, and then excuse herself saying that she thought it was perfume! 
Tom | | | | | ROFL, just saw that. A lot more subtle at a funeral than telling him calmly to take his hands off.
