The New York Post reported:

“Jessica Mann, now 40, hysterically broke down on the witness stand when she recounted in court for the third time how the grotesque, then-300-pound Weinstein pinned her down on a bed before allegedly raping her inside the Doubletree Hotel in Midtown on March 18, 2013.

‘I said, ‘No’ over and over, and I tried to leave’, Mann said through sobs, shortly before showing jurors how Weinstein allegedly pinned both of her wrists above her head during the sex attack.”

Mann said that the mogul ‘treated her like he owned her’.

“Mann said Weinstein also raped her later that year — and that she passed out during the assault because he was ‘so heavy’.

The jailed mogul, who sat in a crinkled suit in a wheelchair, was originally convicted of raping Mann in 2020, but the state’s high court later over turned the verdict, paving the way for a second trial that then ended with a hung jury.”
