- Here are highlights of the rape trial of former movie producer Harvey Weinstein, who has pleaded not guilty to charges he sexually assaulted former production assistant Mimi Haleyi and raped onetime aspiring actress Jessica Mann.
The trial, which began on Jan. 6, is a watershed moment for the #MeToo movement, in which women have accused powerful men of misconduct. The other accuser, Mann, described Weinstein as a “Jekyll and Hyde:” Charming in public but often showing terrifying anger when they were alone. Costume designer Dawn Dunning said Weinstein groped her in 2004 and offered her movie roles in exchange for three-way sex with him and his assistant, which she refused. “This is how this industry works,” she said he told her.
During closing arguments, prosecutors said Weinstein had abused his power and counted on his victims never coming forward.
