US EditionHarvey Weinstein's sexual assault accuser cries, swears at disgraced producer's attorney
- Miriam Haley, a former TV and film production assistant, testified in 2025 at Harvey Weinstein's New York rape retrial about a 2006 sexual assault at his apartment.
- The retrial follows the New York Court of Appeals overturning Weinstein's original conviction and ordering a new trial due to judicial errors and prejudicial testimony.
- Haley and two other accusers, Jessica Mann and Kaja Sokola, are expected to testify against Weinstein, who denies all allegations and has pleaded not guilty.
- Haley testified that in June or July 2006, Weinstein compelled her to perform oral sex against her will despite her protests, and friends confirmed she revealed the assault to them shortly thereafter; she also maintained communication with Weinstein and later accepted his invitation to meet at his hotel room.
- Weinstein faces criminal sex act and third-degree rape charges connected to Haley, Mann, and Sokola, and the case may affect the handling of high-profile sexual assault prosecutions.
