ASSOCIATED PRESS
New York – 11 June 2025
1. Wide of Harvey Weinstein’s accuser Kaja Sokola and attorneys
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Kaja Sokola, Weinstein’s accuser:
"I’m very happy with today’s verdict. I am proud of the other two girls, the other two women that testified. It was an extremely difficult journey for all of us to relive our traumas and to go through it in open court. It’s a big win for everyone. Harvey Weinstein will be in jail."
++BLACK FRAMES++
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Kaja Sokola, Harvey Weinstein’s accuser:
"For myself, it’s closing of a chapter that caused me a lot of pain."
++BLACK FRAMES++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Kaja Sokola, Harvey Weinstein’s accuser:
"I truly hope from the bottom of my heart that standing here right now will give courage to others to speak up, to don’t suffer in silence, because suffering and living with a trauma like this without sharing it with other people is like cancer, it can eat you alive."
++BLACK FRAMES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Lindsay Goldbrum, Sokola’s attorney:
"That Weinstein will face consequences and stay in jail is a victory for all of the brave women who testified for survivors everywhere. But the legal system doesn’t always deliver complete justice. And that’s why Kaja’s voice and the voice of other survivors remains so essential. She may not have received the verdict that she deserved, but her truth was heard. And it helped bring down a man who believed he was untouchable."
++BLACK FRAMES++
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Lindsay Goldbrum, Sokola’s attorney:
"Harvey Weinstein was convicted of one count of criminal sexual assault in the first degree. That’s a class B felony. He can go away for decades for what he has been convicted of today, and that is a win for survivors everywhere. He is going to be in jail for an incredibly long time and that’s a win no matter what."
7. Mid of Weinstein’s accuser Miriam Haley and attorney Gloria Allred
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Miriam Haley, Weinstein’s accuser:
"I’m just obviously relieved again. I didn’t think I would be revisiting this. And I hope I don’t revisit it after this, and I hope it’s finally over."
++BLACK FRAMES++
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Miriam Haley, Harvey Weinstein’s accuser:
"I’m so grateful to the jury. The defense set a very disruptive and chaotic tone from the very beginning of this trial, which I suppose was meant to distract the jury from undeniable facts. And I’m so grateful that they saw through the nonsense and the antics. Testifying in the face of constant disruptions, victim shaming and deliberate attempts to distort the truth was exhausting and at times dehumanizing. But today’s verdict gives me hope."
++BLACK FRAMES++
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Gloria Allred, Mimi Haley’s attorney:
"For those of you in the press who have predicted that the MeToo movement might be dead, that obituary was obviously premature and I don’t think it applies at all, based on my experience as a lawyer for almost 50 years in women’s rights."
11. Mid of Allred congratulating Haley
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Juda Engelmayer, Weinstein’s publicist:
"Today we consider this a little bit of a victory because he beat the top charge, which was Kaja Sokola for a brand new charge."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Juda Engelmayer, Harvey Weinstein’s publicist:
