In the past year, more than 80 women have come forward to accuse the disgraced Miramax producer of sexual assault, abuse and harassment since the Cotber 2017 bombshell New Yorker article which listed claims by dozens of women.
Until the latest development, the prosecution’s case against Weinstein was resting on just three women; Evans and two others whose have orders of protection that prohibits Weinstein and the defense from revealing their identities.
Nearly all the other cases are passed the statute of limitations.
Evans spoke about her decision to come forward in an interview with The New Yorker in May, saying: ‘At a certain point, you have to think about the greater good of humanity, of womankind.’
However Evans’ credibility was further undermined by another damning report, which revealed that the lead investigator on the case failed to turn over statements from a casting director claiming the actress had performed the sex act to score an acting part.

‘The casting witness is a problem, but that is still ‘he said, she said.’ It’s harder to explain away her own words,’ a source said.
That casting director was not named, and the story did not identify which of the two lead detectives on the case, Sgt. Keri Thompson or Det. Nicholas DiGaudio, had withheld information.
‘My client has sacrificed everything for her day in court to hold Harvey Weinstein responsible for sexual assault,’ said Evans’ lawyer Carrie Goldberg.
‘Getting to the truth is the very purpose of trials. And we have utmost confidence that her testimony and supporting evidence will prove his guilt.’
It was further claimed that the detective was under investigation for witness tampering as a result of this action, though it is unclear how the unnamed individual might be charged with that offense.
According to Deputy Commissioner Public Information Phillip Walzak, ‘the NYPD, working with its partner DANY, is fully confident in the overall case it has pursued against Mr. Weinstein.
‘The evidence shows that the criminal case against him is strong. The NYPD will continue to assist the prosecution any way it can to ensure justice is achieved for these brave survivors,’ Dep. Comm. Walzak said in a statement.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice James Burke who dismissed Evan’s accusations, was also expected to decide whether or not to lift the protective orders on the other women.
Evans, who was one of the first accusers to go public, has alleged that Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him back in 2004 after luring her to his office under the guise of meeting a casting director.
She is also the only one of the three women in the criminal case against Weinstein who has identified herself, with the other two women having orders of protection that prohibits Weinstein and the defense from revealing their identities.
Evans spoke about her decision to come forward in an interview with The New Yorker earlier this year, saying: ‘At a certain point, you have to think about the greater good of humanity, of womankind.’

Weinstein’s lawyer, Ben Brafman had argued that charges against his client should be dismissed because prosecutors hid the fact that he had a ‘long-term, consensual’ relationship with one of the accusers.
The unnamed woman exchanged 400 emails during the ‘weeks and years after the alleged rape,’ court papers state.
They include a February 2017 email, sent around four years after the alleged sex attack. In it, the woman told Weinstein: ‘I love you, always do. But I hate feeling like a booty call’
The prosecution argued that the emails did not prove the rape did not occur.
Five additional woman have filed pre-claims accusing the producer of rape and sexual assault, citing official court documents.
Meanwhile, one of Weinstein’s most vocal accusers, Asia Argento, also had her credibility questioned after she was accused of sexually assaulting actor and musician Jimmy Bennett  in 2013.
The criminal charges mark the culmination of an almost year-long investigation by NYPD and the Manhattan DA, who arrested and charged Weinstein with multiple counts in May
