The woman and Weinstein communicated over a four-year period after the date she said he raped her, Weinstein's lawyers said. Weinstein, 66, has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and is free on $1 million bail. Weinstein lawyer Benjamin Brafman said in a statement that the motions "reveal the existence of exculpatory evidence." Weinstein's lawyers said charges against Weinstein in New York involving two other women were flawed and must be dismissed as well. One involves a former actress who said Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him in 2004.
