A former TV production assistant, Miriam Haley, testified in the retrial of Harvey Weinstein on Wednesday, recalling an alleged July 2006 assault where she claimed Weinstein held her down and forced oral sex.
Haley described her brief interactions with Weinstein while working as a production assistant on his reality show “Project Runway” in June 2006, saying she was only looking for professional opportunities, not sex or romance. The defense has argued that all of Weinstein’s accusers consented to sexual encounters with him.
Weinstein is also being tried on charges related to allegations from another accuser, Jessica Mann, who alleges he raped her in 2013, and Kaja Sokola, who claims he forced oral sex on her in 2006. Mann and Sokola are expected to testify at some point.
