Posted in: Sex to boost film career is not rape: Weinstein lawyer See in context
The lawyer is right. Having sex to advance one's career is not rape. Expecting sex in return for career advancement is sexual harassment at the workplace, but laws against that type of sexual harassment are relatively recent and may not cover some of the accusations about alleged events from years ago.
As recently as last year, my brother was proud of the acting gigs he got his wife who had no training or job experience in film prior to marrying him. It was quite common in the film industry to offer gigs to the romantic partners of people in the production side of film.
