New accuser testifies against Weinstein in New York retrial

In a New York courtroom, a woman testified against Harvey Weinstein, recounting an alleged assault in 2013 at a DoubleTree hotel in Manhattan, where she claims Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her after she had agreed to a massage to help her acting career. The accuser, who was 22 at the time, described feeling paralyzed and unable to stop Weinstein, who she said overpowered her despite her protests. Weinstein's defense attorney, Arthur Aidala, challenged her account, suggesting inconsistencies and questioning why she did not scream or try to escape, to which she responded that she was in shock and feared for her safety. This testimony is part of Weinstein's retrial on rape and sexual assault charges, following a previous conviction that was overturned.
