The woman at the center of Harvey Weinstein’s repeatedly retried rape case has told jurors for the third time that the former Hollywood honcho trapped her in a New York hotel room and assaulted her in 2013. Jessica Mann testified through sobs Tuesday that she repeatedly said no, and she tried to leave the room, but in her words, “he just treated me like he owned me.” Weinstein looked on steadily in court as she spoke. He denies the allegation. His lawyers haven’t yet had their chance to question Mann at this retrial but have argued that everything that happened between the two was consensual.

A college dropout facing murder charges in the killings of two University of South Florida students has a hearing scheduled. Court records say 26-year-old Hisham Abugharbieh faces two counts of first-degree premeditated murder with a weapon as well as other charges. He could get the death penalty if convicted, although prosecutors haven’t yet indicated whether they would seek capital punishment. It’s unknown whether he’ll be present at a 9 a.m. Tuesday status conference. His public defender has declined to comment. Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, both 27-year-old doctoral students from Bangladesh, disappeared April 16. Limon was last seen at the off-campus complex where he shared an apartment with Abugharbieh and another roommate.

A woman who accused Harvey Weinstein of raping her in 2013 is testifying for the third time against the former movie magnate. Jessica Mann took the witness stand Monday at Weinstein's latest retrial. It's happening after his initial, 2020 conviction was overturned, and then a jury failed to decide the rape charge during a retrial last year. Weinstein denies the allegation and has said he never assaulted anyone. The woman has said she's “ready, willing and able” to testify as many times as it takes.
