Dancer Says Fear of Harvey Weinstein Muted Her Sex Assault Response
Werksman asked her whether she really didn't expect anything sexual after Weinstein, according to her earlier testimony, brought up getting a “naked massage” from her during their first conversation at the set.
She and Weinstein entered the room but the assistant didn't follow them, and instead closed the door behind them, she said. She said she was being deferential because Weinstein was “in charge,” a feeling she got strongly from others on the set. Ashley M. is not one of the five women Weinstein is charged with sexually assaulting. She is one of four others who have been allowed to testify at the trial about his propensity for such crimes.The 70-year-old former movie mogul is already serving a 23-year sentence for a New York conviction that is under appeal.
