Post by saraceneHere is a very intersting article in today's Standard that does throw
some light on Weinstein's unusual character:-

I was surprised to read on Twitter a respected journalist who campaigns
for mental health balk at the suggestion Harvey Weinstein might suffer
from a mental illness. Another said, definitively, that he was not a
sex addict, that he was an abuser. I thought to myself: “But you can
be all three: you can be a sex addict, have mental health issues and be
an abuser.”
The sex addict/mentally ill-abuser is very familiar to me. Among the
things my ex would do was follow me around the house masturbating.
Sometimes he’d be in a bathrobe, sometimes not. I remember washing my
hair in the shower and opening my eyes to see him on the other side of
the glass, masturbating. In restaurants he would follow me to the loo
trying to grope me, like a Benny Hill character with hands
outstretched, flexing for a squeeze. No matter where we were — train,
car, meeting, church — he’d grab my hand to his priapic crotch. If
he’d taken me to a basement to watch him masturbate into a plant pot,
I wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow. He would call me at work to
audibly orgasm from the other end of the line. A female colleague I
confided in was terrified of answering my phone.
