Kathryn R. Gugle Law Office

I want to thank the Law I class at Worthington Kilbourne for inviting me to teach them about the application of the Rules of Evidence and help them with direct and cross-exam.

As someone who handles s*xual harassment cases, none of what is coming out about Harvey Weinstein surprises me. 1)These guys are predators who know how to pick their prey & the more powerful they are, the more every woman is prey; 2)It really is about power. They get off using their position to subordinate and degrade women in the most intimate way; 3)It always follows a pattern; and 4)If they've done it once, they have or will do it again. What kills me are the Hollywood types who are now publicly condemning him. This has been well known considering the jokes I've heard at award shows referencing his casting couch. This is typically true: the more powerful or valuable you are to an employer, the more likely everyone looks the other way & the more likely a woman who complains will face retaliation.
