Ayele P.O.Box 20438 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia E-mail: waacl13@gmail.com ; waacl1313@gmail.com ; waacl42913@gmail.com Date.: February 01st 2023 Public Records Act (PRA) Request Hello, This is Michael Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. You may call me W. I am writing this letter in response to your correspondence dated January 31st 2023 following the Public Records Act (PRA) request I had filed with the Los Angeles County Counsel on the subject of the #MeToo movement and Jennifer Lawrence September 06th 2022 interview with Vogue (magazine). Please be advised that I have several concerns with the way you have gone on to process my PRA request. One of the main reasons I have concerns with your correspondence from January 31st 2023 is because of your failure to disclose the paperwork that was filed by the Los Angeles County Counsel to extradite Harvey Weinstein from the State of New York to the State of California on (or around) July 20th 2021. According to a July 20th 2021 article published by Reuters (for instance), “former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was extradited from New York to Los Angeles to face trial on rape and sexual assault charges. Weinstein was convicted in February 2020 for sexual assault and rape and was sentenced to 23 years in prison. In Los Angeles, he is wanted for trial on 11 charges of attacking five women from 2004 to 2013. The Los Angeles charges include forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery by restraint, and sexual penetration by use of force…” i Additionally, I have other concerns with the way you have gone on to process my PRA request for failing to disclose the criminal charges filed by the Los Angeles County Counsel on July 21st 2021 against Harvey Weinstein. According to a press release issued by your own office (on July 21st2021), the Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon had “announced (…) that former film producer Harvey Weinstein was indicted on charges that he sexually assaulted five women in separate incidents that span nearly a decade.” ii As a representative of the media and a member of the general public, I hope you will perform a more thorough search for responsive records detailing [1] the paperwork that were filed by the Los Angeles County Counsel to extradite Harvey Weinstein from the State of New York to the State of California (on or around July 20th 2021); [2] the criminal charges filed by the Los Angeles County Counsel against Harvey Weinstein following his extradition from the State of New York to the State of California (on or around July 20th 2021).

On December 28, 2022, our office notified you that the time to respond would be extended by 14 days under Government Code section 7922.535. Thank you for your patience as we continue to review and respond to your request. The record review process associated with your request is still ongoing because of the current unprecedented situation stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate the need for transparency and your right to disclosable public records. However, because of the current unprecedented situation stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, as reflected in Governor Newsom's and the County's Declarations of Emergency (collectively, "Emergency"), the typical record search cannot occur with regular pace. During the pendency of the Emergency, resource allocation has been altered accordingly to ensure that County residents receive essential services in a manner that protects public health and safety. Government Code section 7922.000 allows an agency to withhold a record by demonstrating that, "the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record." In this instance, additional time is needed to respond to your request for the aforementioned reasons. Therefore, our office extends the time to respond and will provide you with a determination as to whether or not we are able to identify any disclosable public records and will provide you with a response by January 31, 2023.

REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 Citing court documents, Variety reported that the actress – referred in the suit as Jane Doe – alleged that Weinstein “forcibly performed oral sex on her, repeatedly masturbated in front of her and threatened to harm her career if she objected.” “I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is; she has just won an Oscar,” the accuser recalled Weinstein telling her, Variety reported. In a statement obtained by People, Lawrence – who won an Oscar for the Weinstein produced film Silver Linings Playbook – denied any sexual relationship with Weinstein. “My heart breaks for all the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein,” Lawrence 28, said. “I have never had anything but a professional relationship with him.

Lawrence has always had a gift for candor: Onscreen, she’ll show you things — and offscreen, tell you things — that other actresses, fortified by fame, tend to keep at a remove. Maybe she never had time to develop a protective shell. When “Winter’s Bone” was released, Lawrence was only 19; a year later, she was cast as Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games,” and only two years after that, she won an Oscar for “Silver Linings Playbook.” “Jennifer Lawrence is Katniss Everdeen, I guess,” Jennifer Lawrence said. “Is that weird?”Who is Jennifer Lawrence Now?

REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 “In a relatively short amount of time, Jennifer has already proven herself to be a one-of-a-kind actress and businesswoman,” says Weston. “Her versatility and commitment to working with the greatest filmmakers in the industry highlights our shared ambition to create thoughtful, fearless films, and we are extremely excited to partner with Jennifer and Justine as they start this new chapter.” “Brad and Pam are visionary producers with incredible taste and a history of supporting diverse and compelling storytelling. We are thrilled to be partnering with Makeready and look forward to this exciting collaboration,” added Lawrence and Polsky.

The Hollywood Reporter.: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/jennifer-lawrence-launches-production- company-excellent-cadaver-1156266/ Such is the cannibalistic nature of the Hollywood starlet cycle: when a female star is on the rise, our culture is all too happy to chew her up and spit her back out, deeming her “annoying” for all the reasons we previously enjoyed her. It happened to Anne Hathaway, and it also affected Jennifer Lawrence, who admitted during an event at the BFI London Film Festival that she “lost a sense of control” during the peak of her fame. “Between the Hunger Games coming out and winning the Oscar, I became such a commodity that I felt like every decision was a big, big group decision,” she said (per Deadline). “Because I had no idea what a huge movie star does next or what Katniss Everdeen should do after this… When I reflect now, I think of those following years as just kind of a loss of control and then a reaction to try to get back.” The actor has returned to indie filmmaking with her new movie Causeway, the first project she’s produced under her company Excellent Cadaver. She explained the name during the event: “It’s a Sicilian mafia term for a hit on a major celebrity. It just made sense. I think there was a part of me that wanted to execute that part of me.”And there has been, if not adeath per se, a closing of a chapter for Lawrence. While she was once the queen of the blockbuster—headlining The Hunger Games as well as the X-Men reboot series—those days are now, apparently, over. “Franchises are so fun. … I could never do one now cause I’m just too old and brittle,” the 32- year-old told the crowd. Instead, she’s setting a new course. “I’m so happy that I eventually, finally, in my late 20s kind of just stopped and made some major changes, and I got the voice in my head back,” Lawrence reflected. “Now, it feels personal to me for the first time in a long time.”Jennifer Lawrence knows things got a bit weird there for a minute.

  35. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 viii Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of sexual assaults, including rape, capping a stunning downfall for the former Hollywood mogul and a victory for the #MeToo movement. Weinstein, 67, was convicted in New York City of third-degree rape and first-degree criminal sexual act. (…) At least 80 women had accused him of sexual misconduct stretching back decades, including actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Uma Thurman and Salma Hayek. (…) The jury of seven men and five women reached their verdict on Monday morning, the fifth day of deliberations. Weinstein - who denied all charges - was convicted of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping Jessica Mann, a former aspiring actress, in 2013. The judge ordered him sent to jail immediately. But the jury acquitted him on two counts of predatory sexual assault, which carried a potential life sentence, and first-degree rape of Mann. In the minutes after the verdict, Weinstein showed no emotion as he talked to his lead lawyer Donna Rotunno. (…) The third-degree rape charge in New York is defined as engaging in sexual intercourse with a person who is incapable of consent, or under age 17, or who has not given consent for a reason other than the inability to consent. Prosecutors portrayed Weinstein as a serial predator who used his position of power in Hollywood to manipulate and attack women. (…) Ms Haleyi, who had worked on one of Weinstein's television productions, said she was assaulted by the producer after he invited her to his Lower Manhattan home. (…) She testified that he backed her into a bedroom, held her down on the bed and forced himself on her. Ms Mann said that she found herself in an "extremely degrading" relationship with him that did not involve intercourse until he raped her in a New York City hotel room in 2013. She said he was a "Jekyll and Hyde" figure who could be charming in public but showed his dark side when they were alone. Another one of Weinstein's accusers, Sopranos actress Annabella Sciorra, told jurors he raped her in her apartment one night in the mid-1990s. (…) Her allegation was too old to be charged as a separate crime, but prosecutors used it in an attempt to demonstrate that the accused was a repeat sexual offender. Following the verdict, Ms Sciorra said: "I spoke for myself and with the strength of the 80-plus victims of Harvey Weinstein in my heart." (…) Rose McGowan told the BBC’s Newshour programme: "The little girl I was when I was hurt, she's ecstatic...This is a great day. The trash has been taken out." Harvey Weinstein found guilty of rape in watershed case. BBC News.: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51621041 ixHarvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years on sex crime convictions in New York on Wednesday, following a landmark trial that spotlighted Hollywood power dynamics, predatory sexual violence and complex questions about the nature of consent and coercion. That sentence includes 20 years for criminal sexual assault in the first degree, which stems from an accusation from former "Project Runway" production assistant Mimi Haley, and three years for rape in the third degree, which stems from an accusation from Jessica Mann, who is now being named by W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 10

  36. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 ABC News as she told the district attorney's office after a verdict was reached she does not object to being named publicly. The sentences are set to run consecutively. (…) Victims Mimi Haley and Jessica Mann had given impassioned victim impact statements that at times drew them to tears. "I had no reason not to go there," Haley said of the evening she was sexually assaulted in 2006. "Harvey Weinstein wasn’t a stranger. He knew people I knew. I had no reason to think that even if he made sexual advances towards me and I rejected him, that he wouldn’t respect my rejection. I had no reason to believe that he would force an act of sexual violence on me. But that’s exactly what he did.(…) I believe that when he attacked me that evening, with physical force, with no regard for anything I said, no regard for my cries and protests, my physical resistance, my panic and fear - it scarred me deeply - mentally and emotionally - perhaps irreparably, perhaps forever. What he did not only stripped me off my dignity as a human being and as a woman, but crushed my confidence and faith in my professional future for a long time," Haley said. "It diminished my confidence and faith in people, and my confidence and faith in myself. I was confused, in distress and in disbelief. It was embarrassing and frankly incredibly hurtful, that this person, who I knew to some degree, but who had also for a long time known someone I loved and trusted, would do this to me." Mann focused much of her statement on physiological effects of rape on the human body. "This rape induced paralysis is a natural response designed to activate under situations such as sexual abuse, or rape," Mann told Judge Burke. "When the brain assess that flight or fight are not possible, sometimes after using another mechanism called freezing (the state in which those responses are put on hold to assess the situation) the immobility response is activated. Harvey at the time had every advantage over me. Given the immense physical stature of Harvey’s weight, height, and ox like strength – he used that physicality to trap me and prevent me from leaving. That was a powerful assessment that flight was not possible. “Fight was also not possible," she continued. "His strength overpowered me trying to leave." "Rape paralysis, or immobility is very real in humans. A good visual of this is when animals ‘play dead’ under stress. While they remain flexible, and aware, they are trapped in a survival response until the threat is removed. In people, this response can also be accompanied with fainting or blacking out. Such as what happened to me in a separate rape committed against me by Harvey Weinstein, which you heard in my testimony, as well as Annabella’s testimony. Just like our hearts without our conscious awareness, it is critical that victims, and the courts understand that the ability to fight during rape can be out of the victims’ control when this defense response is triggered unconsciously. (…) I ask you to consider the horrors of being rendered immobile by my own biological response, while I had to endure his penis, raping me on his time, as slow as he wanted while he pleasured himself inside my body. I wish I had been able to fight him while he raped me. I could have walked away with a sense of control over my body instead of a deeper shame." "Please understand," she implored Burke, "that to show distress, especially while still in shock, would have been dangerous. I was not about to advertise that I was a weak and wounded prey and attract more potential violence. This is a response we see in nature, and should be of no surprise that hiding weakness is something every human being on this planet exercises." Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years on sex crime convictions. ABC News.: https://abcnews.go.com/US/harvey-weinstein-despondent-faces-sentencing- york/story?id=69516249 W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 11

  37. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 Harvey Weinstein, the titan of Hollywood turned convicted rapist, has been sentenced to 23 years in prison on Wednesday in New York. The fallen mogul was handed down his punishment by Judge James Burke at the New York supreme court having been convicted of two counts of sexual assault. The judge imposed 20 years for a first-degree criminal sex act for forcing oral sex on a production assistant, Miriam Haley, in 2006. He also imposed a three-year sentence for third-degree rape of a woman whom the Guardian is not naming because her wishes over identification are not clear. The two sentences will run consecutively, meaning that Weinstein, 67, will have to complete the terms of the criminal sex act before serving the rape sentence. Both the main accusers, as well as the four other witnesses from trial – the Sopranos actor Annabella Sciorra, Dawn Dunning, Tarale Wulff and Lauren Young – came into court as a united group, sitting at the front row alongside Cyrus Vance, the district attorney of New York who led the prosecution. The women were cheered as they walked into court. (…) Within a few hours of the stunning sentence being delivered, Weinstein was hit with a further withering blow. The district attorney in Los Angeles announced that it has begun extradition proceedings to bring him to face two charges relating to two additional west coast accusers. The women, one of whom, Lauren Young, testified at the New York trial, allege they were sexually assaulted on two consecutive days in 2013. The charges carry a possible maximum sentence of 28 years in prison. Since he was convicted, Weinstein has been moving between a secure wing of Bellevue hospital in Manhattan where he underwent heart surgery in which a stent was fitted and the North Infirmary of Rikers Island. His spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, told Page Six that he was miserable but trying to be optimistic, even though he suffered a fall earlier this week. “He has had a lot of time to think about his life and be humbled, but he thinks it’s going to be a long, uphill battle from here.” After sentencing, Weinstein will pass into the bowels of the New York state department of corrections. He will be taken to a reception center in Fishkill, New York, for “processing”, and then transported to a prison in upstate New York. He is likely to experience a rude awakening as he enters the prison system. As part of his reception procedure, he will be required to have a shower and go through delousing treatment. He will then be made to sit through a suicide prevention video. That part of the proceedings is likely to be closely observed as New York is in a heightened state of tension after the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a federal jail in Manhattan. Weinstein had also indicated he had suicidal thoughts in documents released on Tuesday from December 2017. The lengthy prison sentence marks the second major glass ceiling that has been cracked by the Weinstein saga in the legal treatment of sexual assault in the wake of the #MeToo movement. It was extremely unusual for prosecutors to bring the New York case all the way to trial in the first place – authorities have in the past tended to shy away from accusers who have maintained close and in some cases sexual contact with their attackers as did several of the Weinstein witnesses.

The jury began deliberating on Dec. 2. When jury members left the courthouse on Monday, they were approaching nearly 30 hours of deliberations. They are due back at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. The 12-person jury is made up of eight men and four women. The jurors are tasked with poring through a hefty amount of evidence, including testimony from 50 witnesses. Including jury selection, the trial has now spanned more than two months. Weinstein is facing seven charges stemming from four accusers, including five counts of sexual assault and two counts of rape. The jurors must be unanimous to reach a verdict on each of the counts. The jury has not submitted any questions or notes to the judge — at least, in the presence of the media — so there is no indication of what the jury might be focused on, or what they might be stuck on. Last week, one of the six alternate jurors asked to be excused from the case, citing a vacation that was planned for this week. After the defense objected, the judge declined to excuse the alternate juror. If convicted, Weinstein could face up to 60 years to life in prison, on top of the 23-year sentence he is already serving in connection with his conviction in New York in 2020. The former Hollywood titan was extradited to Los Angeles in 2021 and has been held since then in a medical unit of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

  39. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 xiv She Said. Official Trailer.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5pxUQecM3Y xvIn mid-July, with Jodi focused on Hollywood, Megan turned to a basic investigative question: Were there any public records of abusive behavior by Weinstein? After all, there were laws to protect victims of sexual harassment, and at least in theory, government agencies enforcing them. If Weinstein had been a serial harasser, some of his victims might have filed complaints with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the corresponding state agencies in New York and Los Angeles, the cities where Weinstein had run his companies. The federal and New York agencies had nothing. But Grace Ashford, a savvy young researcher on her first month at the Times, obtained a report from California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which showed several workplace complaints for Miramax. The information was shrouded in the ultraobscure language of state bureaucracy: addresses, dates, and numerical codes denoting the nature of the allegation and how it was resolved, but nothing about who the people were or what had happened to them. On September 12, 2001, the agency had received a complaint of sexual harassment against Miramax. Strangely, it had been closed the same day. The report noted “complainant elected court action,” which normally meant the agency had signed off on the merits of the complaint and steered it into the civil legal system. But there was nothing further, nor was there any record of a courts case in California’s docket. How could a complaint filed with the government disappear within hours? Megan kept calling the agency to ask, but it was like ringing a house where no one was home. When she finally reached someone by email, the government official told her the complaint against Miramax and any other related records had been destroyed under an agency policy that prevented the retention of documents after three years. Another policy prohibited the official from providing the name of the person who had filed the allegation. This was maddening. After some additional prodding, Megan secured the name of the government investigator who had been assigned the case at the time it was filed. The woman was retired. No one at the agency knew where she lived. Through social media sites and address searches, Megan found her living east of Los Angeles and finally got her on the phone. The interview was brief. The former investigator had reviewed hundreds of complaints during her time with the California agency. She didn’t recall this one. “What’s Miramax?” she asked. (…) Even the EEOC, the government agency that was supposed to enforce sexual harassment laws, often kept its settlements confidential. The agency had very little enforcement authority, and, under, its founding mandate, was required to settle whenever possible, often disclosing little. “Weknow internally who the companies are that have the most charges,” Chai Feldblum, then the commissioner of the EEOC, had told Jodi. But the agency was prohibited from making that information public. Before taking a job, a woman could not check with the EEOC to see what kind of record the prospective employer had on harassment. No wonder Megan hadn’t gotten anywhere with the old Miramax complaints to the California agency. Such agencies would gather crucial information with taxpayer dollars and then, for the most part, were required to lock it away where almost no one could see it. Jodi cut to the point: The United States had a system for muting sexual harassment claims, which often enabled the harassers instead of stopping them. Women routinely signed away the right to talk about their own experiences. W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 14

  40. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 Harassers often continued onward, finding fresh ground on which to commit the same offenses. The settlements and confidentiality agreements were almost never examined in law school classrooms or open court. This was why the public had never really understood that this was happening. Even those in the room with long histories of covering gender issues had never fully registered what was going on. Leaving the meeting, Jodi and Megan realized how much needed to be investigated. Would the public be interested in these obscure legal instruments or their ramifications? Jodi Kantor & Megan Twohey. She Said. Chapter Three. How to Silence a Victim. xviThe Department of Justice (DOJ) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have disclosed limited records of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) August 29th 1986 invitation to their former Director William Webster. These records were disclosed by the FBI following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by the Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) on or around October 12th2021. It’s the 2nd (second) time the Department of Justice (DOJ) have referred the AACL to the National Archives Records Administration (NARA) on issues not unrelated to the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery. The recent FBI disclosure show that Westminster College had extended an invitation to William Webster to “deliver the 1987 Commencement Address on Sunday, May 17, 1987 at 2:30 P.M.” The August 29th 1986 letter was signed by Westminster College former President J. Harvey Saunders. On October 31st 1986, William Webster accepted the invitation of Westminster College, acknowledging his formal and informal ties to Westminster College as well as Callaway County.

These questions include but are not limited to the following. 1) What are/were colleges/universities in the U.S.A obligations pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? Were colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A required by law to denounce violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their religious affiliations and their national origins following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If yes, were colleges/universities required to inform their students about what constitute appropriate sexual boundaries pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? 2) Did colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A begin informing their students about what constitute “affirmative and effective consent” following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If not, when did colleges/universities begin to inform their incoming freshmen/transfer students about the concepts of “affirmative and effective consent?” Did colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A begin teaching the concepts of “affirmative and effective consent” to their incoming freshmen/transfer students following the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery (dated April 05th 1986)?

  42. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 xviiiExcerpt of E-mail Sent by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W to the Department of Education (DoED) on October 18th 2022 Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. You may call me W. I am writing this letter in response to your correspondence from September 12th 2022 for the purpose of filing an appeal to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which you had assigned Case No.: 21 – 02190 – F. Please be advised that I have several concerns with the adequacy of the search you have performed for my FOIA request. For instance, you have failed to acknowledge that the Department of Education (DoED) had sent me a letter on February 16th2021 stating that the “San Francisco Office for Civil Rights (OCR) received the complaint” I had filed on that same day. Additionally, you have failed to acknowledge that the DoED “was evaluating [my] complaint to determine whether OCR will accept” the issues that formed the basis for my complaint “for investigation” on February 16th 2021. Furthermore, you have also failed to acknowledge that I had provided the DoED a signed Privacy Act Consent Form on (or around) February 18th 2021. As a Black man with a U.S college degree (who was in January 2010 informed what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent”), I was deeply vexed by your correspondence from September 12th2022 for [1] pretending as if I haven’t filed a complaint on February 16th 2021 with the Department of Education (DoED); [2] engaging in a pattern that looked to me very much like a cover-up; [3] failing to make clear how the DoED “evaluates” complaints filed with them pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Act as well as Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of the 1972; [4] giving me the strong impression that the pain and suffering endured by Chanel Miller is worth less than that of Jeanne Ann Clery because she was not raped by a Black/African American man; [5] giving me the strong impression that the pain and suffering endured by Chanel Miller is worth less than that of Jeanne Ann Clery because she was not murdered after she had been raped on the campus of Stanford University (on or around January 17th 2015). As a representative of the media and a member of the general public, I hope you will perform a more thorough search for responsive records detailing [1] whether the DoED initiated contact with the San Francisco Office for Civil Rights (OCR) for the purpose of FOIA Request Case No.: 21 – 02190 – F; [2] the discussions between the DoED and the San Francisco Office for Civil Rights (OCR) about FOIA request Case No.: 21 – 02190 – F; [3] how the DoED “evaluates” complaints filed with them pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Act as well as Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972; [4] your discussions about the pain and suffering endured by Chanel Miller being worth less than that of Jeanne Ann Clery because was not raped by a Black/African American man; [5] your discussions about the pain and suffering of Chanel Miller being worth less than that of Jeanne Ann Clery because she was not murdered after she had been raped on the campus of Stanford University (on or around January 17th 2015); [6] the standard definition in use by the DoED for what constitutes a "cover-up." I hope you reconsider your response. Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance. W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 17

  43. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 12/14/2022 W (AACL) Michael A. Ayele Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist xix In October 2021, there were 5276 (five thousand two hundred and seventy-six) employees working for the MODMH. Of those, 3752 (three thousand seven hundred and fifty-two) employees were women and 1502 (one thousand five hundred and two) employees were men. While 64% (sixty four percent) of the MODMH employees identified as White, 31% (thirty one percent) identified as Black. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was previously employed for the MODMH. He has in 2013 filed a charge of employment discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against the MODMH. The charge of employment discrimination filed by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W with the EEOC was previously assigned Case No.: 28E – 2014 – 00485C. The charge of employment discrimination filed by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W with the EEOC has been subject of intense scrutiny for various reasons. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has recently been informed by his former employers that 9 (nine) charges of employment discrimination have been filed against the MODMH between January 01st 2010 and December 17th 2021. Of those, the MODMH opted to engage in the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) program offered by the EEOC on 4 (four) separate occasions. They also declined to engage in the ADR program offered by the EEOC on 5 (five) separate occasions. As of this writing, it remains unclear for the Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) why the MODMH opted to engage in certain ADR sessions offered by the EEOC, while refusing to do so for others. The AACL unequivocally denounces discrimination on the bases of gender, racial background, sexual orientation, national origin and religious affiliation. The AACL also unequivocally denounces discrimination against people with disabilities (PWD). The AACL has decided to publish this information to members of the general public because of the language used by the EEOC to describe their processing of Charge No.: 28E – 2014 – 00485C and also because of the EEOC frequent reference to this charge of discrimination. The AACL has effectively put the EEOC on notice that given their processing of Charge No.: 28E – 2014 – 00485C, they have forfeited their rights to represent Missouri State employees who [1] have opposed discriminatory practices in the service of healthcare pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); [2] have been subjected to racially motivated internal investigations (and were afterwards cleared of that investigation); [3] have been fired from their jobs as retaliation; [4] have been arrested for demanding the payment of their salary for the job they have performed.

Lawyers for Weinstein pleaded with the judge for the minimum sentence of five years in prison. Donna Rotunno, his chief defense attorney, cited his work in the film industry as well as his failing health as mitigating factors. The sex offender also addressed the court personally in a rambling address in which he expressed remorse as well as implying he had been “confused” in his dealings with the women. “I’m totally confused, men are confused about all of this issue.” Weinstein went on to say: “I really feel remorse for this situation, I feel it deeply in my heart,” adding: “We may have different truths.” Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years in prison on rape conviction.
