Kaja Sokola accuses Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault

Kaja Sokola came forward the entire incident stating she was 16 years old when she came from Poland to the USA in 2002 to become a model. Kaja was introduced to Harvey at an event associated with her modelling agency where Harvey apparently asked her for lunch if she was interested in pursuing a career as an actor. Though she agreed for a formal lunch with Harvey, Kaja alleged that his driver took her to Harvey's apartment instead against her wish.
