“Do The Right Thing” actress Rosie Perez is set to testify at Harvey Weinstein’s trial to back up fellow screen star Annabella Sciorra’s allegation that he raped her in the mid-1990s
.
Prosecutors have said Sciorra told Perez weeks or months later that she thought something bad had happened to her and believed she had been raped.According to prosecutors, Perez surmised through subsequent conversations that Weinstein was the alleged attacker, and an upset Sciorra told Perez that was true when she asked.His lawyers said Perez shouldn’t be allowed to testify, arguing that her account would be hearsay.
Dr. Barbara Ziv told Weinstein’s jury of seven men and five women that most sexual assault victims continue to have contact with their attackers, who often threaten retaliation if the victims tell anyone what happened. The 67-year-old producer of such Oscar-winning movies as “Chicago” and “The King’s Speech” has insisted any sexual encounters were consensual. He could get life in prison if convicted.
