Harvey Weinstein’s Lawyers Quiz Model About His Testicles
Harvey Weinstein’s defense strategy in his Los Angeles sex crimes trial took another interesting turn on Wednesday—this time accusing an Italian model on the stand of lying about the toppled titan’s testicles.
The model, identified as Jane Doe 1, told Los Angeles Superior Court jurors on Wednesday that Weinstein attacked her inside a Beverly Hills hotel room in 2013, where he forced her to give him oral sex, tried to penetrate her vagina with his fingers and penis, and eventually masturbated in the bathroom after having “trouble with an erection.” After the attack, she said that Weinstein “acted like nothing happened” before warning her not to tell anyone about the assault.
“I wanted to die. It was disgusting. It was humiliating, [and] miserable. I didn’t fight,” Jane Doe 1 said. “I remember how he was looking in the mirror and he was telling me to look at him. I wish this never happened to me.”
