In Harvey Weinstein's retrial, Kaja Sokola, a former model, testified tearfully about multiple assaults, claiming Weinstein manipulated her youth and aspirations. As she provided details of the assaults during her teenage years, defense attorney Mike Cibella challenged her account, pointing out inconsistencies and the absence of corroborating evidence. Sokola described horrifying experiences from when she was 16, stating that Weinstein exploited her career aspirations. The trial follows a previous appeals court decision that overturned Weinstein's 2020 conviction. This case includes a charge from 2006, prompting prosecutors to add Sokola's allegations to the current proceedings.
