In the Weinstein trial, a woman testifies that Weinstein raped her twice

Mimi Haley (née Haleyi), a former production assistant on Project Runway, testified on Monday at the criminal trial against Harvey Weinstein.  The rape charges against Weinstein are based upon Haley’s allegations, as well as those of Jessica Mann.

What was strange about the testimony is Haley’s admission that, despite Weinstein’s having already raped her, she voluntarily spent time alone with him, only to have him rape her a second time:

A former production assistant for Project Runway testified in court Monday that she “felt like an idiot” for visiting Harvey Weinstein at his hotel after the first time the allegedly raped her.

Haley, the second accuser to take the stand at the disgraced Hollywood producer’s rape trial, said she did not initially consider the second attack to be a rape at the time that it happened, because she had voluntarily gone to meet with him, in an attempt to reclaim “some power” following the first assault.

Haley, 42, testified that she met Weinstein in 2004 when they were introduced by a mutual friend.
