The first of three accusers expected to give evidence at Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial has entered the witness box, reprising her testimony from his first trial five years ago.

Miriam Haley, a former TV and film production assistant, alleges that the former movie mogul forcibly performed oral sex on her at his New York City apartment in 2006.
