A former fashion model testifying in Harvey Weinstein 's retrial on sexual assault charges was confronted on the stand Tuesday with a private journal in which she wrote about people who sexually abused her, but notably left out the disgraced former Hollywood mogul.
Michael Cibella, a lawyer for Weinstein, noted that the journal by Kaja Sokola names at least two people who had sexually assaulted her. Neither one of them, she acknowledged to the jury in Manhattan, was Weinstein.
Instead, the "Pulp Fiction" producer is mentioned in the writings for altogether different reasons. Under an entry for "Harvey W" Sokola wrote that he was "promising me help," but "nothing came out of it."
"The trauma that Harvey Weinstein inflicted on you was that he made promises that he didn't keep, even as you accused two other men of sexually assaulting you," Cibella said.
The Polish model, now a 39-year-old psychotherapist, pushed back at the characterization.
