The sexual harassment claim brought by actress Ashley Judd against the disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has been dismissed by a Californian court after it ruled that a change in the law could not be applied retrospectively in her case.

However, the judge indicated that Judd could still pursue a defamation claim against Weinstein that he tried to sabotage her career.

Since allegations from a handful of women were published by the New York Times back in October 2017, more than 80 women have come forward to allege varying degrees of sexual misconduct and abuse at the hands of Weinstein dating back decades.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has taken the step of suspending Harvey Weinstein’s membership, in the wake of mounting allegations of sexual assault and harassment against the movie mogul going back decades.

High-profile female stars have come forward in recent days alleging instances where Weinstein acted inappropriately toward them, including Angelina Jolie, Ashley Judd and Gwyneth Paltrow, following an explosive expose piece in the New York Times last Thursday (October 5th) late last week. A report in the New Yorker this week also detailed testimony from three other actresses, all alleging historical cases of sexual harassment.

Making the move via a press release on Wednesday (October 11th), BAFTA said that while they have “previously been a beneficiary of Mr Weinstein's support for its charitable work, it considers the reported alleged behaviour completely unacceptable and incompatible with BAFTA's values."
