Weinstein Trial Turns Tense as Accuser Gestures at Him and Lawyers Clash over a Movie Reference
- Jurors began hearing testimony on Monday in Harvey Weinstein’s sex crimes retrial in New York involving accusations from three women, including Jessica Mann.
- The trial follows an appeals court decision overturning Weinstein’s prior New York conviction amid findings of prejudicial testimony, with Mann as the last accuser to testify.
- Mann, a 39-year-old cosmetologist and hairstylist from Washington, testified that a relationship with Weinstein beginning around 2012–2013 included boundary-pushing meetings that escalated to coerced sex.
- Mann said she initially refused Weinstein’s advances and felt confused and defiled when he forced oral sex on her in 2013, and she worried about professional consequences from alienating Weinstein.
- Weinstein has pleaded not guilty, denies all assault claims, and the trial outcome could impact ongoing efforts for accountability symbolized by the #MeToo movement.
