Accusers Will Describe Harvey Weinstein’s Deformed Genitalia At L.A. Sex Crimes Trial
I need a barf bag just reading about this, so I can’t imagine what these women went through, or what people in the courtroom are going to have to hear and see this week. Via NYPost:
Harvey Weinstein’s alleged deformed genitalia will be laid bare and discussed in detail during his trial over alleged sex crimes, prosecutors revealed Monday.
The disgraced Hollywood mogul’s accusers will take to the stand and describe “unique things about his body” — including his testicles — as they recall how he allegedly sexually assaulted each of them, Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson said in his opening statement at Los Angeles Superior Court.
“What I’m referring to is the result of a surgery that the defendant had in 1999,” Thompson told the jury as 70-year-old Weinstein shook his head.
“Because of an infection, his testicles were actually taken from his scrotum and put into his inner thighs,” he continued.
“None of the Jane Does will describe his anatomy perfectly, but most of them will be able to describe these abnormalities that they observed during the assaults.”
He added that the surgery caused “pretty noticeable scarring,” which will be visible in photos shown in court as the trial unfolds.

Weinstein is already serving a 23-year sentence for being convicted of rape in New York, so this L.A. case will add even more years, assuming he’s convicted, ensuring that he’ll die in prison.
