The discussion of Weinstein’s body has come up multiple times during the trial
Photo: Seth Wenig/AP/Shutterstock Actress Lauren Young testified Wednesday in Harvey Weinstein’s Manhattan rape- and sexual-assault trial, alleging that he trapped her in a bathroom, groped her breast, and masturbated in front of her seven years ago. The proceedings took a bizarre turn when Weinstein’s defense tried using Young’s description of his testicles to discredit her.
“He stepped in front of me, and I went to approach the door,” Young said, later adding, “I felt so trapped, and I was in shock. I just started backing up away from him.”“He starts coming closer to me, so I turned, because I didn’t want to look at his naked body,” she recalled. “He came behind me and unzipped my dress, and started pulling it down and turning me around, and then he [was] masturbating …” Young said he was grabbing her right breast with one hand and masturbating with the other.
Cheronis then asked Young about her description of Weinstein’s body when she was speaking with law enforcement in fall 2018. He asked Young if she told a detective, “He has them. I don’t know if there was one or two.”“I saw that there was a sack,” she said.“You drew a picture of a man holding his penis in the picture?”She also said at one point that during this incident, “he’s just carrying on with normal conversation. ‘This is what all actresses do to make it.
The disgraced producer does not face charges in New York City for alleged incidents involving these three women, and prosecutors cannot use their testimony to make the argument that Weinstein has a bad character or pattern of behaving this way. But they can use these witnesses’ testimony to demonstrate intent and opportunity.Young said she “hit it off” with Salinas at a dinner in February 2012. Weinstein was there, and she had seen him at other events around Los Angeles.
When Young arrived at the hotel, Salinas was there. They went to the bar, and Weinstein came to meet them about 10 minutes later. He was on his phone much of the time. They did discuss ideas.
