New York: Harvey Venstein lawyers on Friday sought doubts about a pre-model allegation that he sexually assaulted him in his teenage age, portraying him as a wanted actor, who tried to take advantage of the former studio boss.Defense lawyer Mike Siebella said, “You believed that if you had an agreement with Mr. Venstein, you will take your leg to the door and become a film star,” said Defense advocate Mike Sibella.“No, this did not happen,” Kaj Socola replied. “I never had a relationship with Mr. Wenstein.” During one day of interrogation, Sibella suggested that Socola did not tell the whole story of his conversation with Venstein. At one point, Sibella repeatedly asked if she invited Veenstein to a New York apartment – and in the bedroom – where she was living in 2005. He denied this. “I didn’t want any shortcut from Mr. Wenstein. I wanted him to be honest with me,” Socola later testified at a point, her voice became hot. He said that the Oscar winning manufacturer promised to help fulfill his acting ambitions, but instead “broke my dreams, and he broke my self -esteem.” The Polish psychiatrist has accused Veenstein of repeatedly sexually abusing when she was a teenage fashion model. Some of the allegations are beyond the legal time limit for criminal allegations, but Winstein faces a Criminal Sex Act allegation on Socola’s claim that he forced him oral sex in 2006. The prosecutors added charges in the landmark #MeToo case last year, after an appeal court overturned Vensteten’s 2020 sentence. The guilty decision relates to the allegations of two other women who have testified or are required again. 73 -year -old Venstein has requested not to be guilty and sometimes refuses to have sexual harassment with someone. 39-year-old Polish-born Socola had a jet-setting modeling career as a teenager. She testified earlier this week that Venstein exploited her young interest in an acting career, which began in 2002, to subjugate her to unwanted sexual advances, while she was 16 years old on a modeling trip to New York. She told the gamblers that after four years, when she was 19, Vinstein took her to a hotel room and said that she had a script to see her, then pinned her on a bed and had oral sex on her because she did not tell her. Socola never got a full role in the film Veenstein, although she arranged for an additional in the 2007 “The Nani Diaries”. His view eventually cut, he said. His company also wrote a recommendation letter to him to an acting school. She said that she was unable to tolerate it. Socola allegedly sued Veenstein on the 2002 incident several years ago, and eventually received around $ 3.5 million in compensation. His suit never mentioned the alleged 2006 alleged attack. He testified on Thursday that he had a difficult time compared to being with him with sexual abuse of 2002. Cibella underlined the lapse, and suggested that she sued to achieve financial freedom and be able to leave her now-Astraned husband. On the contrary, she said, she was doing two things and was doing it out. Cibella also pointed to the difference in some details of Socola’s testimony this week and reported a grand jury last year, including the month of sexual abuse of 2002. The lawyer further stated that Socola is pursuing various legal routes to live in the US’s long -term, and her participation in criminal case can help with one of them. Socola is expected to continue testimony next week. Associated Press usually does not name those who allege that they have been sexually assaulted, but Socola has allowed her to identify her.
