NEW YORK: Prosecutors opening Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s rape and sexual assault retrial described on Wednesday how he ignored his victims´ pleas to stop and abused his position to make them “feel small.”
The trial, which began with jury selection last week, will force survivors who helped spark the “MeToo” movement to testify against Weinstein once more.
The former Miramax studio boss is charged with the 2006 sexual assault of former production assistant Mimi Haleyi and the 2013 rape of aspiring actress Jessica Mann. He also faces a new count for an alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old in 2006.
Assistant District Attorney Shannon Lucey recounted Weinstein´s alleged attacks in graphic detail, saying all three women had begged him to stop, but that he had “all the power... He made all these women feel small.”
