in the downtown Los Angeles courtroom before a lunch break, becoming the fourth woman Weinstein is accused of sexually assaulting to testify at the former movie magnate's trial.
The 48-year-old Siebel Newsom was"a powerless actor trying to make her way in Hollywood" in 2005 when Weinstein raped her during what she thought was going to be a meeting to discuss her career at a Beverly Hills hotel, Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson said during the trial's opening statements.
Siebel Newsom said a crowd of people in a hotel lobby area seemed to clear as he approached her:"It felt like the red sea was parting," she testified."I don't know if it was deference or fear." Siebel Newsom is known as Jane Doe #4 at the trial, and like the others Weinstein is charged with raping or sexually assaulting, her name is not being spoken in court. But both the prosecution and the defense identified have identified her as the governor's wife during the trial and Siebel Newsom's attorney confirmed to The Associated Press and other news outlets that she is Jane Doe #4.
"She intends to testify at his trial in order to seek some measure of justice for survivors, and as part of her life's work to improve the lives of women," her attorney Elizabeth Fegan said in a statement at the start of the trial. Actor Daphne Zuniga, star of"Spaceballs" and"Melrose Place," testified about her friend at the trial last week.
