The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered

The final accuser of Harvey Weinstein testified in court today. Her name is Lauren Young and she is one of the witnesses testifying so the prosecution can show a history of predatory sexual abuses. Young alleges that in 2013 she was enticed into his hotel room by a woman she thought was her friend and that Weinstein then cornered her in a bathroom before sexually assaulting her. Weinstein allegedly said: “How am I going to know if you can act?” and “This is what all actresses do to make it.” According to Young, she thought she was visiting Weinstein to discuss a script and followed him to a hotel room upstairs because he said he had to get ready for an awards event involving Quentin Tarantino.
Ms Young also made bizarre claims about Harvey Weinstein's genitalia. One witness said the movie producer was intersex whilst Ms. Young said he appeared to be deformed. The jury were required to look at drawing she did of Mr Weinstein's genitalia.
Harvey Weinstein denies all the charges.
