Summary
On the second day of the trial against Harvey Weinstein, actress Annabella Sciorra, known for her role as "Gloria Trillo" in The Sopranos, gave evidence claiming she was raped by the movie mogul in the early 90's (although she cant remember which exact year). Sciorra is not part of this case against Weinstein as her allegations fall outside New York State's statute of limitations but she has been brought to testify against Weinstein to show a "pattern" of predatory behavior.
Sciorra's testimony is graphic and she alleges that Weinstein forced himself into her home and raped her. After the encounter, she alleges that Weinstein told her not to tell anyone what happened. But under cross examination Sciorra admitted that she worked on the Weinstein movie Cop Land after the alleged rape. Are Sciorra's accusations credible? Decide for yourself as you listen to veteran Hollywood voice actors as they recreate the courtroom for you in the second episode of The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered.
