Harvey Weinstein Accuser Kaja Sokola Protests as Defense Reads and Questions Her About Private Journal: ‘I’m Not on Trial Here’
Harvey Weinstein accuser Kaja Sokola's cross-examination resumed on Tuesday during his New York retrial.

Sokola’s cross-examination began last Friday, during which Weinstein’s lawyer questioned her about previous lawsuits she filed against the former Hollywood producer — particularly regarding the roughly $3.5 million in compensation she received. That testimony was introduced to demonstrate Weinstein’s “propensity or predisposition” to commit the crimes for which he is currently on trial, Judge Farber explained to the jury — including the alleged 2006 assault involving Sokola.
