The second of six alleged sexual assault survivors is expected to testify at Harvey Weinstein’s New York trial Monday. Mimi Haleyi, a former production assistant at the Weinstein Co. who worked on shows such as “Project Runway,” is expected to tell jurors about an attack she says Weinstein carried out inside his Manhattan apartment in 2006. Weinstein is charged with first-degree rape, two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of first-degree sexual assault and one count of third-degree rape. AdvertisementAfter the date of the alleged 2006 assault, Cheronis said, Haleyi flew to London with Weinstein and later reached out to pitch him a television show. She alleged Weinstein forced his way into her apartment after he offered her a ride home from an industry dinner event in Manhattan in either late 1993 or 1994 and attacked her.
