Former model Kaja Sokola emotionally testified against Harvey Weinstein in his retrial, recounting a 2002 sexual assault when she was 16. Sokola described the encounter in a Manhattan apartment, detailing Weinstein's threats to derail her career if she refused. This testimony, not included in Weinstein's first trial, is central to the current charges. Weinstein, who maintains his innocence, has faced numerous sexual assault allegations and previous convictions. The retrial follows earlier testimony from another accuser, Miriam Haley, who also broke down while giving evidence.
