Kaja Sokola, now 39, testified in Manhattan Supreme Court that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her when she was 16. Sokola claims Weinstein name-dropped Gwyneth Paltrow and Penélope Cruz, implying he could make or break her career. She described the alleged assault, including unwanted touching and forced sexual acts. Weinstein, who denies the allegations, remained impassive during her emotional testimony. This is Sokola's first public account of the alleged assaults, which allegedly occurred in 2002 and 2004.
