Harvey Weinstein's deformed genitalia photos shown to LA jury in sex abuse trial
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The legal team of Harvey Weinstein in the Los Angeles sex crimes trial has shown photos of the ex-movie mogul’s genitalia during the hearing. The 12-member jury was presented on Friday, October 28, with an envelope containing multiple photographs, among others in a private room at Los Angeles Superior Court. The series of documents submitted as an exhibit in Weinstein’s trial over 11 counts of rape and sexual assault, which involves five women from 2003 to 2014.
The convict's private parts have now become a major point of discussion in the ongoing trial. The disgraced film producer had suffered "scarring and alterations" in his genitalia from a 1999 surgery to remedy Fournier’s Gangrene, said, prosecutors. The doctors had removed some of Weinstein’s scrotum and placed them into his thighs as per the report.

“That surgery caused pretty noticeable scarring, and you’ll see the pictures,” Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson said. The former Miramax head’s lawyer on Wednesday, October 26, had scrutinized one of the victim’s claims on Weinstein’s testicles. He made her go into detail on their appearance, alleging she lied in her earlier statement. The unnamed victim alleges she was assaulted in 2013 and had told jurors Weinstein had "problems with testicles" and they were "part of him," reported Daily Beast.
The series of images were presented to the jury just a day after a ‘Dirty Dancing 2’ actress claimed that Weinstein masturbated on her face in 2003, as her assistant waited outside the hotel room after he had demanded she give him a "naked massage just like actress Gwyneth Paltrow did." The victim claimed that Weinstein shoved her onto the bed, and performed a sex act on her body, but she didn’t see his genitalia, according to Daily Mail.
“He said it would just be a naked massage … and not to worry about it. He said, ‘Look at Gwyneth Paltrow and what it did for her career,'” she had testified. The victim that goes only by Ashley M also told the court, how his assistant failed her. “I gave her (Hung) a look like, ‘Can you help me’ with my eyes. She looked me in the eyes and said, ‘Don’t worry. I will be with you the entire time. He just wants to talk about projects.'” She continued, “I was worried but yet I felt comforted that Bonnie was there … but I was wondering what was going on.”
“Harvey opened (the door) and he went in, then I went in,” she said, sobbing. “And Bonnie shut the door behind us. After forcing himself upon her, Weinstein allegedly ejaculated on her body, “He said, ‘It’s OK, it’s not like we’re having sex,'” Ashley M said. “He ejaculated on me … on my breasts and some got on my face,” she further claimed.
