Six women have taken the stand to say they were sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein

Harvey Weinstein's defence team has rested its case in his rape trial, without the fallen US film producer giving evidence, paving the way for closing arguments later this week.

All of the allegations in the proceedings, which are seen as a watershed moment for the #MeToo movement, are at least six years old, while one of them dates back three decades. The trial has raised complicated issues surrounding consent and abuse of power for the jury of seven men and five women. Ms Mann, 35, admitted having a relationship with the defendant lasting several years. She described it as "degrading" and "complicated."
