  • A Polish model testified Wednesday against fallen film mogul Harvey Weinstein in his retrial on sex assault charges, the first time the woman claiming the former Miramax boss forced oral sex on her has been heard in criminal court.The former Miramax studio boss is charged in the New York retrial with the 2006 sexual assault of Haley and the 2013 rape of Mann, as well as the assault on Sokola.

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.
