A Los Angeles prosecutor told jurors on Monday that they will hear from eight women who say Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted them during his time as one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood.
The man who became the face of #MeToo allegations five years ago is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence for sex crimes in New York.
Weinstein, seated in the courtroom in a dark suit and tie, occasionally shook his head while Thompson spoke. One of Weinstein's accusers is Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a documentary filmmaker and wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom. She will testify that Weinstein raped her in 2005 when she was trying to build a career as an actor, Thompson said.
