The proceedings took a bizarre turn whenWeinsteinsdefense tried using Youngs description of his testicles to discredit her.
The woman who was with them, former Miss New Mexico Claudia Salinas, closed the bathroom door.
Weinstein bathed for two seconds, brief rinse, she alleged.
I just started backing up away from him.
Young said she was backed against the sink.
Weinstein said, How am I going to know you’ve got the option to act?
I said No, no, no the whole time.
Weinstein then allgedly ejaculated onto a towel.
He left the bathroom first, and I stayed standing there in shock …

She said that he was hairy and had moles and fat rolls.
Something didnt look normal, she continued, saying she didnt see balls in the sack.
Cheronis pointed out that Young had testified that she didnt see any testicles, right?
I did not, Young said of seeing Weinsteins testicles.
(She had reached out to a tip line about the alleged incident in October 2017.)
He asked Young if she told a detective, He has them.
I dont know if there was one or two.
Today, you testified that you didnt see any testicles?
I saw that there was a sack, she said.
Cheronis then asked her about the picture she drew for law enforcement.
You drew a picture of a man holding his penis in the picture?
I drew that, she said, referring to the drawing which was seen by jurors.
She also said at one point that during this incident, hes just carrying on with normal conversation.
This is what all actresses do to make it.
The discussion of Weinsteins body has come up multiple times during the trial.
He has an extreme scarring that I didnt know maybe [he] was a burn victim …
He does not have testicles, and seems like he has a vagina, she also said.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles havechargedWeinstein for the alleged groping of Young.
But they can use these witnesses testimony to demonstrate intent and opportunity.
Young went into detail about how she wound up allegedly trapped in a bathroom with Weinstein.
Young said she hit it off with Salinas at a dinner in February 2012.
Weinstein was there, and she had seen him at other events around Los Angeles.
Salinas appeared to know Weinstein, she said.
Young and Salinas talked business, including about a screenplay Young was working on.
They exchanged contact information that evening.
Salinas reached out in February 2013 about Youngs script.
I got ready, and I put on my best dress, Young said.
I was excited to online grid and pitch my ideas.
While Young didnt bring a copy of her script, as it wasnt finished, she brought her friends.
When Young arrived at the hotel, Salinas was there.
They went to the bar, and Weinstein came to meet them about 10 minutes later.
He was on his phone much of the time.
They did discuss ideas.
I would rather, you know, wait.
And, you know, I didnt want to be onAmericas Next Top Model.
I was trying to transition into acting, and reality TV just wasnt what I wanted.
At one point, Weinstein said he had to work on something related to an award.
So I followed, she said.
They walked down the hallway, toward the elevators.
Weinstein was in front, and Salinas was behind her.
They went upstairs and went down a hallway, walking in the same order.
They were still discussing business.
Young said she followed him into a room.
Young continued to follow Weinstein through the room and through a doorway.
Did you know you were going into the bathroom as you were following Harvey Weinstein?, Hast asked.
No, I did not know.
Had you ever been in that hotel suite before?
No, Young answered.
Capulong said he saw them leave the check-in area.
