Harvey Weinstein’s accusers in the sexual assault trial of the incarcerated film mogul.Judge Lisa B. Lench ruled in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday (October 15) that the actor can testify about what his masseuse and friend alleged had happened to her.

The woman in question will be known as Jane Doe #3 at Weinstein’s upcoming trial in which he is accused of committing sexual battery by restraint, AP reports [via The Hollywood Reporter].Weinstein, who co-founded the movie production company Miramax, is facing 11 rape and sexual assault counts in an overall trial.

In March 2020 he was sentenced to 23 years in prison for counts of a Criminal Sexual Act in the first degree and third-degree rape.Prosecutors said that Gibson claimed that Jane Doe #3 told him that she was giving Weinstein a massage at a California hotel in Beverly Hills in May 2010 when a naked Weinstein followed her into the bathroom and masturbated.

Weinstein has pleaded not guilty and denied any non-consensual sexual activity.Weinstein’s lawyer argued against allowing Gibson to testify, saying that what he learned from the woman while getting a massage from her does not constitute a “fresh complaint” by the woman under the law by which Gibson would take the stand.A “fresh complaint” under California law allows the introduction of evidence of sexual assault or another crime if the victim reported it to someone else voluntarily and relatively promptly after it happened.It’s claimed by Gibson’s legal team that when the actor brought up Weinstein’s name by chance during the massage, the woman had a traumatic response and Gibson understood from her that she had been sexually assaulted.
