Tap title to read story
In Harvey Weinstein's retrial, former model Kaja Sokola testified about a journal detailing past sexual abuse, excluding Weinstein. Weinstein's lawyer highlighted the omission, suggesting the alleged trauma stemmed from broken promises rather than assault. Sokola vehemently denied this, reiterating Weinstein's assault. The defense is attempting to portray Sokola as a wannabe actor seeking favors, questioning inconsistencies between her 2020 statement and current testimony. The judge expressed concerns about the journal's admissibility, questioning its authenticity and how the defense obtained it. Weinstein, 73, pleads not guilty.
