Overview

  • Miriam 'Mimi' Haley testified on April 30, describing in detail how Harvey Weinstein allegedly forced her to perform oral sex in 2006.
  • Haley stated she initially did not report the assault due to fears related to her immigration status and lack of a U.S. work visa.
  • On cross-examination, Haley acknowledged a later consensual encounter with Weinstein, attributing it to her desperation for work opportunities.
  • This retrial, ordered after Weinstein’s 2020 conviction was overturned for procedural errors, includes new allegations from former model Kaja Sokola.
  • Weinstein, who remains hospitalized periodically, denies all allegations, asserting that his encounters with accusers were consensual.
