Weinstein Acquitted, Sister's Betrayal Devastates Accuser
Tap title to read story
Kaja Sokola's testimony in Harvey Weinstein's retrial ended in an acquittal on charges related to her. However, the most difficult aspect for Sokola wasn't the trial itself but the betrayal by her sister, Ewa, who provided Weinstein's defense with a private journal that omitted Weinstein's alleged abuse, despite mentioning other assaults. While Ewa testified for the prosecution, the defense used the journal to question Sokola's credibility. Weinstein was convicted on other charges, facing a 25-year sentence. Sokola maintains her accusations despite the acquittal and criticizes the defense's tactics.
