American actress, Annabella Sciorra on Thursday testified in court that film producer, Harvey Weinstein raped her 25 years ago.

Annabella, who is one of the first of six women to testify, said that the movie mogul whom she first met at a party in Los Angeles sometime in 1990, raped and sexually assaulted her at her Manhattan apartment in the winter of 1993-1994.

According to her testimony, Ms. Sciorra had dinner with Mr Weinstein in the winter of 1993-94. The Hollywood mogul then offered to drive the actress back to her Manhattan apartment. Minutes later, she heard a knock at her door after Mr. Weinstein dropped her off. As soon as she opened the door, the producer shoved his way into her apartment and chased her to her bedroom where he pinned her to the bed during the alleged attack.
She said she tried to run to the bathroom, but “he kept coming at me. I felt overpowered because he was very big. He got on top of me and he raped me. He had intercourse with me and I was trying to fight him, but I couldn’t fight anymore because he had my hands locked.” She said he then forcibly performed oral sex on her, telling her: “This is for you.” “It was just so disgusting that my body started to shake in a way that was very unusual. It was like a seizure or something.”

Ms. Sciorra said she confronted Mr Weinstein at a dinner weeks later. His response was “menacing”, she said. The producer allegedly leaned into her and said: “This remains between you and I.”
“It was threatening and I was afraid,” the actress testified.

She also claimed that Mr. Weinstein continued to harass her after the alleged rape.
