Annabella Sciorra Testifies Against Harvey Weinstein & Describes Alleged Rape
Annabella Sciorra is speaking out against Harvey Weinstein.
The Sopranos actress testified in court on Thursday (January 23) against the film producer in New York City.
According to multiple reports, she began choking up and fighting back tears while recounting the alleged rape in the early 1990s, which Harvey denies.
“As I was trying to get him off of me — I was punching him, I was kicking him — and he took my hands and put them over my head, he put my hands over my head to hold them back and he got on top of me and he raped me. He put his penis inside my vagina. He had intercourse while I was trying to fight but I couldn’t fight anymore because he had my hands locked,” she said.
“At a certain point, he stopped. He came out of me and he ejaculated on top of me, on my nightgown. He said, ‘I have perfect timing.’ And then he proceeded to put his mouth on my vagina and before he did that, he said, ‘This is for you,’” she reportedly testified.
“And I didn’t have very much fight left inside me at this point. I said, ‘No, no.’ But there was not much I could do at that point. My body shut down. It was just so disgusting that my body started to shake in a way that was very unusual. I didn’t even really know what was happening. It was like a seizure or something.”
If convicted, Harvey could be sentenced to life in prison. He has denied the allegations against him and previously pleaded not guilty to the New York charges.
