New York Jurors Present Naked Photos Of Harvey Weinstein
In the courtroom, prosecutors did not reveal why the naked pictures were presented, but the defendant's lawyer claimed it was only to shame Harvey Weinstein.
In
the
court,
on
Tuesday
jurors
presented
naked
photos
of
Harvey
Weinstein,
without
an
explanation
as
to
why
and
how
many.
A
photographer
hired
by
the
Manhattan
District
Attorney's
office
testified
of
taking
the
pictures
back
in
2018.
Weinstein's
lawyer,
Donna
Rotunno,
in
a
statement
claimed
that
the
photos
were
introduced
for
"no
other
reason
than
to
shame
Mr
Weinstein."
Jessica
Mann,
who
accused
of
Weinstein
raping
her,
testified
on
Friday
about
Weinstein's
physical
appearance,
she
said,
when
she
first
saw
him,
he
had
no
testicles
and
appeared
to
be
"deformed" or
"intersex."
Mann
testimony
has
been
attacked
based
on
their
complex
on
and
off
relationship,
and
it
is
suspected
the
pictures
were
shared
to
corroborate
her
testimony
about
Weinstein's
physical
appearance.
Other
than
Jessica
Mann
and
another
woman,
Mimi
Haleyi
has
accused
him
of
assault,
to
which
Harvey
Weinstein
has
pleaded
not
guilty.
If
charged
he
will
be
given
a
sentence
life
in
prison
for
predatory
sexual
assault.
Since
2017,
more
than
80
women
have
accused
Weinstein
of
sexual
misconduct.
It
also
began
the
#MeToo
movement
as
more
victims
came
forward
with
allegations
against
predatory
men
in
business
and
politics.
