US EditionHarvey Weinstein accuser says he sexually assaulted her at 16: Most ‘horrifying thing I ever experienced’
- At Harvey Weinstein's retrial in New York, accuser Kaja Sokola testified that he sexually assaulted her at age 16 in 2002 at a Manhattan apartment.
- The retrial follows the New York Court of Appeals overturning Weinstein's 2020 conviction, partly due to unlawful handling of witnesses in the original trial including Sokola's later-added testimony.

- The retrial, part of the #MeToo movement fueled by public 2017 accusations, could affect Weinstein's legal status, while he continues to deny all charges and maintains innocence.
