Los Angeles jurors in Harvey Weinstein’s sex-crimes trial were shown photos on Friday of the topped titan’s genitalia and the surrounding area, which prosecutors said endured severe scarring and alterations after a 1999 surgery for a bout of gangrene.
The 12 person jury—consisting of three women and nine men—were shown 30 photos of and reports on Weinstein in a private room in the Los Angeles Superior courthouse. In addition to the photos, the jury was also given a description of Weinstein’s surgery and subsequent scarring after he suffered a life-threatening infection known as Fournier’s gangrene.
Weinstein’s surgery has been a repeat subject in his latest sex-crimes trial, where prosecutors allege that he sexually assaulted five Los Angeles women between 2003-2014 after using his power to lure them for his own sexual gratification and ensure their silence. He has pleaded not guilty.
