Sexual Misconduct Harvey Weinstein

Court ended early for the day at Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial after his accuser struggled on the witness stand. It happened Thursday after a defense lawyer showed jurors a previously undisclosed note that the woman wrote to herself two days after the alleged assault in 2013. The note described her feeling “emotionally attached” to someone and wanting a loving partnership. Weinstein's defense pointed out that the note says nothing about the alleged rape two days earlier in a Manhattan hotel. Weinstein says everything that happened between him and the woman accusing him was consensual. She straightforwardly answered questions Thursday but then said she felt “spacey” from the stress of testifying. That prompted the judge to adjourn court early.
