The man sitting right there was not just a titan in Hollywood.
When Weinstein heard the last womans name, he shook his head.
He violently and forcibly raped, and orally sexually assaulted, Annabella Sciorra, Hast said.
Harvey Weinstein refused and threatened to sue her if she backed down.
Annabellas world came crashing down following a dinner event around late 1993.
Weinstein offered to drop her off at her apartment.
She went inside and got ready for bed.
There was a knock at her door, Hast said.
Not expecting anyone, Annabella opened the door a crack to see who it was.
Before she had time to ask him why he was there, the defendant pushed past the 110-pound Annabella.
He appeared to be casing her apartment, trying to ensure no one else was there, she continued.
Once he was satisfied, he was unbuttoning his shirt … she told him to get out.
She told him no.
But Harvey Weinstein was undeterred.
The defendant started backing her into her bedroom.
While Sciorra initially thought she could flee, he ultimately managed to hold her down and rape her.
Annabella remembers at some point giving up the fight and just hoping it would end, Hast alleged.
Annabella remembers not having any fight [left] in her body.
Her body wasnt able to endure anymore and her body began violently shaking.
At that point, Weinstein had enough and left her emotionally and physically destroyed.
Weinstein left her passed out on the floor, with her nightgown around her waist, Hast claimed.
Instead, he looked forward, or down at a legal pad, occasionally whispering with his attorneys.
Update, February 24:Harvey Weinsteins verdicthas been announced.
