Update: Jane Doe #1 faced cross examination from one of Harvey Weinstein’s attorneys, as she was pressed on details of the alleged assault.
Attorney Alan Jackson attempted to raised doubts about her testimony, including how Weinstein was able to find her hotel room if she had checked in under an alias, Leonore. At one point, he claimed that she told the grand jury that, when she was at her hotel and got a call from the front desk that Weinstein was looking for her, she only heard him in the background. But he noted that in an interview with Los Angeles Police Detective Javier Vargas, she said that the concierge called saying that Weinstein wanted to see her and then put him on the phone.
He also questioned her on whether she ever confronted the hotel about “this terrible breach of protocol” in that, presumably, they let Weinstein know what room she was staying in.
