Alan Jackson pressed a woman who accused Weinstein of raping her in 2013 for physical evidence during a Los Angeles trial on Wednesday.
Prosecutors have presented photographs and other evidence that both Weinstein and the woman were at the Los Angeles Italia Film Festival, which she had come to California to attend in February 2013.
The woman did not go to police until October of 2017, when women’s stories about Weinstein made him the central figure in the #MeToo movement. Asked whether the explosion of media stories around Weinstein prompted her to go to police, the woman repeated earlier testimony that she had already decided to file a report earlier in the year when she urged her teenage daughter to go to authorities over sexual harassment she’d been subjected to at school.The woman is going only by “Jane Doe 1” in court.
