In emotional testimony with vivid detail, actress Annabella Sciorra said Thursday that Harvey Weinstein barged into her apartment 25 years ago and raped her.
"The Sopranos" actress said the movie mogul raped and sexually assaulted her at her Manhattan apartment in the winter of 1993-1994. She first publicly spoke about the attack in an October 2017 New Yorker story as part of a wave of accusations against him.
She testified on Thursday that he entered her residence, chased her around and 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," Sciorra told jurors.

The defense attorney won't have the opportunity to say "You knew what was going to happen when you went into his office, didn't you? You knew what you were getting into, didn't you?"
I hope they light Weinstein on fire...
