The defense attorneys in the sexual assault trial against former film producer Harvey Weinstein began presenting their case Monday.
Calling Sam Jagger, the former general manager of the Mr. C Beverly Hills hotel, Weinstein attorney Alan Jackson suggested that alleged Weinstein victim"Jane Doe 1'' had stayed at the hotel for weeks after the purported rape in February 2013.
Also called to the stand was LAPD Officer Stephanie Frias, who testified that on Sept. 28, 2017, she met with"Jane Doe 1,'' who had contacted the police department not to report her own alleged rape years earlier, but to say that her daughter was the purported victim of a sexual assault. Weinstein's defense began following the judge's Nov. 17 decision to reject a bid by his attorneys to acquit him of all seven counts, with the judge saying she thought there was"enough evidence to send all these counts to theHer ruling came on the same day the prosecution rested its case-in-chief against Harvey Weinstein and the jury was sent home for a Thanksgiving holiday break.
Siebel Newsom -- who was referred to in court only as"Jane Doe #4'' but has been publicly identified by her attorney -- wrapped up her second and final day on the witness stand with an emotional outburst when asked if she intended to have sex with Weinstein when she went to his suite at The Peninsula in September 2005.
