FILE - In this July 9, 2018 file photo, Harvey Weinstein attends his arraignment in court, in New York. Weinstein's lawyers want a New York court to throw out sexual assault charges against him. Lawyers for the former movie titan-turned-#MeToo villain filed notice Friday, Aug. 3, they'll seek dismissal of the case. Among other arguments, they say the grand jury that indicted Weinstein should have been told about emails from one of his three accusers: a woman who said he raped her in 2013. One message, less than a month after the alleged attack, expresses appreciation for &quot;all you do for me.&quot; Another, days later, says &quot;it would be great to see you again.&quot; (Jefferson Siegel/The Daily News via AP, Pool, File)

Despite concerns over the potential for abuses, the Sorehara web service is gaining in popularity. Sorehara is an abbreviation of the Japanese for &quot;That's harassment.&quot; (Quaerere Co,.

Allen says he should be the face of the #MeToo movement in terms of what to do right. Allen says he’s a “big advocate” of #MeToo and that he should be the poster face for the movement because he has worked with hundreds of actresses over 50 years, and they’ve never “suggested any impropriety.” Dylan Farrow, Allen's daughter, in 2014 renewed the claim that Allen molested her in 1992 when she was seven. Allen has long denied the allegations. (Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File)
