US EditionWeinstein’s Office Kept a List of Women ‘Friends of Harvey,’ an Ex-Aide Testifies
- An ex-aide testified on Thursday during Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial that his team maintained a record at his production company's office of women identified as 'friends of Harvey' who were regularly invited to events.
- The list was created because Weinstein, who was married at the time, directed his assistants to include women he encountered at various events on guest lists, sometimes designating them as a distinct category of invitees.
- Jurors saw a roster containing over a dozen names organized by groups, including 'LA Friends,' under which Jessica Mann, a key accuser, was listed.
- Weinstein, formerly a powerful film executive and central figure in the #MeToo movement, is accused of sexually assaulting Mann in 2013 and compelling two additional women to perform oral sex in separate incidents in 2006, while he continues to assert that all his sexual interactions were consensual.
- The retrial showed jurors messages from 2013 about Oscar parties and featured testimony from Mann describing a voluntary relationship that became degrading and culminated in rape.
