Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, will testify in disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's trial on sex-crime charges in Los Angeles.
The 70-year-old former film producer has already been convicted of rape and other sex crimes in New York. Now he'll go on trial for similar charges in L.A., years after allegations that helped spark the #MeToo Movement in Hollywood.
All five of Weinstein's accusers are expected to testify, as well as several other women whose accusations are not part of the criminal charges. However, they are expected to describe Weinstein's past behavior.ABC News confirmed one of those women is California's First Partner. To stand trial, Weinstein was extradited from New York, where he has already served two years of a 23-year sentence for sex crimes. That case is being appealed.
The multiple accusations over a period of time will help make the prosecution's case stronger, according to one legal analyst.
