rape trial in New York on Monday by describing two separate incidents of alleged sexual assault in 2006.
During sexual intercourse, Haleyi testified, Weinstein “said something like, ‘you’re a whore and a bitch’ but in a way that he thought somehow would turn me on.” “I tried to get up, but he pushed me down,” Haleyi said, her voice thick with emotion. “I had expressed throughout this entire time that I didn’t want to ….

He got offended by that” and finally relented.
