Overview

• Kaja Sokola, a former model, testified about a 2006 incident in which she alleges Harvey Weinstein forced her into oral sex in a Manhattan hotel room.
• Sokola also recounted a 2002 encounter at age 16, where she claims Weinstein sexually abused her, though this allegation is time-barred and not part of the current charges.
• Weinstein, whose 2020 New York conviction was vacated due to procedural errors, denies all allegations and has pleaded not guilty in the ongoing retrial.
• The retrial includes testimony from Sokola and two other accusers, revisiting charges from 2006 and 2013 under stricter evidentiary rules.
• Weinstein remains incarcerated following a separate 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles, for which he is serving a 16-year sentence.
