"Inside Harvey Weinstein's Retrial: Testimony of Former Executive Assistant Reveals 'Friends of Harvey' List"
[!CDATA[Harvey Weinstein's former executive assistant testified at his sex crimes retrial that there was a list of female "friends of Harvey" who were invited to events. These women were people Weinstein had met at various gatherings. Weinstein would ask his assistants to invite these women to events, and the list was kept in the office. One of the women on the list, Jessica Mann, is one of the accusers in the trial. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, which include rape and forced oral sex on multiple women. The retrial is taking place after Weinstein's previous conviction was overturned due to prejudicial testimony. The current charges involve allegations from Mann, Miriam Haley, and Kaja Sokola. Mann is expected to testify soon, and she previously described a relationship with Weinstein that started consensually but turned abusive. Weinstein's defense has argued that the encounters were consensual and related to Mann's acting aspirations. Messages between Weinstein's assistant and Mann about event invitations were shown to the jurors during the trial. The trial is ongoing, and the accusers have agreed to be identified publicly. Weinstein's legal team has maintained his innocence, while the prosecution is presenting evidence and testimony to support the charges against him. The outcome of the retrial will determine Weinstein's legal fate in this case.]]
