Annabella Sciorra will testify against Harvey Weinstein in his upcoming trial
star Annabella Sciorra, and it’s most likely about getting her testimony added to the trial, rather than adding another charge:
Weinstein has already been charged with two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree, one count of first-degree rape and one count of third-degree rape. With the start of his trial less than three weeks away, it is likely that rather than add an additional charge, which could delay proceedings, prosecutors will ask for Sciorra’s testimony to be included, in attempt to establish a pattern of criminal behaviour.
Now, however, the Manhattan district attorney has obtained a new indictment from a grand jury that will let Ms. Sciorra tell her story on the witness stand under the legal theory that her testimony will support charges of predatory sexual assault, even though it happened too long ago to be charged separately as a rape, prosecutors said.
