responsible for sexual assault, saying she felt betrayed after the Manhattan D.A.’s office dropped her allegations last year.after giving a speech at a conference on influencer fraud in Manhattan, making her first public comments on the case since prosecutors dismissed her claims.
Evans worked with the detectives for months and testified before the grand jury, which indicted Weinstein on six counts. But prosecutors later spoke with a witness who alleged that Evans had given a contradictory account of the incident, saying it was consensual. Prosecutors also said that Evans had written a different version of the story in a draft email to her fiance in 2015. Citing the conflicting versions, the D.A. voluntarily dropped the charge.
She revealed that one of the hardest moments was when police and the D.A.’s office had her visit the scene of the alleged crime. “I was so excited to go meet with [Weinstein], I thought it was going to be my big break,” Evans toldafter the summit. “I know that everyone goes through this. I’m one of what, 100 people that have gone through this with this one man and most people have much worse stories than me. But I know that this happens to all of us. This happens to men, the trans community, every marginalized community. Yes, it’s really painful and it’s not been easy. But at least I’m finding myself again.
