As most know, this won’t be the first time a man in the entertainment industry has been accused of some kind of sexual abuse, however, the allegations against each individual come in varying severity. On the more extreme end of the #MeToo movement, men such as R. Kelly and Harvey Weinstein have been accused of sexual abuse.

In fact, R. Kelly is on trial for aggravated sexual abuse and Harvey Weinstein is also being charged with sexual assault. He’s going on trial in September of this year following the original postponement. Harvey’s trial was scheduled for May but was moved to the aforementioned month so the ex-producer could prepare his case.
