Miriam Haley Shares Harrowing Account of Encounter with Weinstein

Miriam Haley, identified as a victim in the ongoing retrial of Harvey Weinstein, recounted her experience on the stand, marking her second testimony regarding the incident that allegedly took place nearly two decades ago.

Originally a television production assistant, Ms. Haley described her initial meeting with Weinstein at a London film premiere in 2004. She later reconnected with him in New York while seeking career opportunities in production.

As Ms. Haley spoke in court, defense attorneys attentively followed her words, holding a transcript from her 2018 testimony, poised to address any inconsistencies or new details.

Her testimony has captured significant attention in the media, being a central element of Weinstein's retrial hearings.

Back in 2020, Weinstein was found guilty of sexual offenses involving two individuals, including Ms. Haley, ultimately receiving a 23-year prison sentence. However, the upcoming retrial emerged following an appeal that mandated another hearing.

District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg observed as Ms. Haley presented her narrative to the jury. Notably, Ms. Haley's former roommate had previously described to jurors an instance of Haley being visibly upset and describing Weinstein's non-consensual actions towards her.
