Harvey Weinstein’s semen ‘did not look normal’ claims model Lauren Young day after saying his genitals looked amputated
HARVEY Weinstein's semen did not look "normal", one of his accusers has told a court, a day after saying his genitals looked "amputated".
Model Lauren Young, 30, appeared as the final witness for the prosecution in the former movie mogul's rape trial, currently ongoing in .
Weinstein, 67, once among the most powerful people in Hollywood, has been accused of sexual abuse by more than 80 women since allegations against him first emerged in October 2017 and sparked the worldwide #MeToo movement.
He is currently on trial for two of the allegations in particular, one the he raped a woman in a New York hotel in 2013, another that he forcibly performed oral sex on a different woman in his Manhattan apartment in 2006.
He denies wrongdoing, and says sexual contact between him and his alleged victims was consensual.
'I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT'
Six of Weinstein's accusers have testified at the trial as part of an attempt by the prosecution to demonstrate a pattern of predatory behaviour.
Young was the last to appear, returning to the stand for an hour this morning after also testifying on Wednesday.
She was quizzed further about an an alleged incident in which Weinstein ejaculated on a towel in front of her in the bathroom of a room at the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel in February 2013.
Asked to describe Weinstein's semen, she said: "It didn’t look normal.
"It was, like, clumpy. I have never seen anything like that."
Speaking yesterday, Young described Weinstein's penis as looking "like it had been cut and sewn back on and he has no testicles."
The court has also been shown a dress Young said she was wearing on the night of the alleged assault and which may be sent for DNA testing.
'HE WOULDN'T LET ME LEAVE'
Young said she was invited to the hotel when, as an aspiring actress and screenwriter, she met model Claudia Salinas, who said she could introduce her to Weinstein.
Young said Weinstein took both she and Salinas to a suite in the hotel, claiming that he had to prepare for an event with director Quentin Tarantino.
She said he then led her into the bathroom before she realised the room she was entering, and that Salinas closed the door behind them.
Young said that when she tried to leave, Weinstein said: “No, we are just going to have a talk here.
"How am I going to know if you can act?”
She said Weinstein then undressed and trapped her behind a shower door before unzipping her dress and groping her.
"I just couldn’t believe what was happening to me,” Young said.
