- The first of three accusers took the witness stand on Tuesday at Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial in Manhattan, reprising testimony from his 2020 trial.
- The retrial follows the state's Court of Appeals overturning Weinstein's convictions and 23-year sentence due to prejudicial rulings and ordering a new trial.
- Miriam Haley, who previously worked as a production assistant, alleges that in June 2006, Weinstein compelled her to engage in oral sex at his apartment in Manhattan.
- Two friends of Haley testified that she disclosed the assault around the time it occurred, while Haley recalled pleading, 'No, please don’t do this, I don’t want it.'
- Weinstein, age 73, faces charges for criminal sex acts related to Haley and others but pleaded not guilty and denies all sexual assault allegations.
