A former Scottish Government official who has accused Alex Salmond of sexual assault said she suffered flashbacks following the Harvey Weinstein case, a court heard.
The former first minister of Scotland is on trial at the High Court in Edinburgh over accusations of sexual assault.
The woman was first to give evidence and spoke about two alleged incidents.
The woman, known as Woman H, told the court on Tuesday she began to suffer flashbacks.
She said: "I had started to learn about (the MeToo movement), yes. It was just around that time.
"It was on the back of the Harvey Weinstein case.
"These issues started to be discussed and I started to have what I could describe as flashbacks.
"I started to come to the realisation at the October/November 2017 period."
The woman had previously told the court that she felt "hunted" by Salmond moments before an alleged sexual assault in Bute House.
It is alleged the incident took place after a dinner at the first minister's official residence.
Salmond faces 14 charges of alleged offences against 10 women, all of which he has pleaded not guilty to.
The charges span a period between June 29 2008 and November 11 2014, with one sexual assault said to have taken place in the month of the Scottish independence referendum in September 2014.
Salmond - who was Scotland's first minister from 2007 to 2014 - faces a number of other sexual assault charges, as well as two indecent assault charges.
His trial, which is expected to last for four weeks, continues.
