"Money and power or who you are will not stop us from a criminal investigation or prosecuting a case," Montgomery County, Pa. District Attorney Kevin Steele said during a news conference following the verdicts. "What was revealed through this investigation was a man who had spent decades preying on women that he drugged and sexually assaulted and a man that had evaded this moment, here today, for far too long. He used his celebrity, he used his wealth, he used his network of supporters to help him conceal his crimes."
Prominent voices, particularly those who have been key to bolstering the #MeToo movement, are sharing thoughts following the verdicts.
