'Dirty Old Git' Harvey Weinstein Hospitalized After Returning to Rikers Island
Ambra Battilana Leaks Damning Audio of Weinstein Pressuring Her in Hotel Room
60 Minutes Australia / ABC News 23 February, 2020
Speaking exclusively to 60 Minutes reporter Tom Steinfort, Ambra has broken her silence on her experience with Weinstein, violating the million dollar gag-order that was stifling her story.
She has leaked a damning audio recording of Weinstein pressuring and threatening her in a New York hotel room. The recording is the smoking gun in holding the Hollywood producer to account.

After four days of deliberating, jurors in the Harvey Weinstein trial have yet to return a verdict and are recessed for the weekend.
On Friday, jurors asked Manhattan Supreme Court Judge James Burke about returning a partial verdict on the five counts against Weinstein.
"We the jury request to understand if we can be hung on [counts] one and or three and unanimous on the other charges," they said on Friday afternoon. Counts one and three are the two top charges of predatory sexual assault.
The jurors were sent back to deliberate after the prosecution refused to accept a partial verdict, a smart move that may increase the likelihood of Weinstein being found guilty on all counts, Stewart Ryan, a former Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, prosecutor in both Bill Cosby trials, told ABC News.
"I think the logical conclusion, assuming [the jurors] are talking about counts one and three, is they have guilty verdicts on two, four and five, and some compromise is being struck," said Ryan, now with the Philadelphia-based firm Laffey, Bucci & Kent, LLP.
The trial is scheduled to continue on Monday.
