Kaja Sokola, a former runway model from Poland who accused disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault in a lawsuit, tearfully described the alleged encounter as the most “horrifying thing I ever experienced” during testimony at Weinstein’s sexual abuse retrial Thursday.

Sokola, 39, who said the assault happened in 2006 when she was 19 years old, told jurors in New York City that Weinstein put his hand inside her underwear and made her touch his genitals at a Manhattan apartment in 2002.

Sokola said she saw Weinstein’s eyes — “black and scary” — staring at her in a bathroom mirror as it happened.

Afterward, she said, he told her to keep quiet about what had happened, touting that he’d made the careers of A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Penélope Cruz and that he could help her Hollywood dreams come true.

“I’d never been in a situation like this,” Sokola testified. “I felt stupid and ashamed and like it’s my fault for putting myself in this position.”
