In a fiery display of courtroom theatrics, Harvey Weinstein’s defense attorney aimed to poke holes in Jane Doe #2’s account of an alleged 2013 sexual assault by zeroing in on the timeline and speci…
that Weinstein masturbated in front of her and groped her breasts after cornering her in a hotel bathroom during a business meeting that was planned to take place in a hotel lobby. Young previously testified during Weinstein’s New York trial in 2020.
Jackson pointed out, for instance, that Young had told detectives she was “trapped” inside a sliding bathroom door in the hotel where she says she was assaulted. Jackson showed the jury photos that pictured the door on a hinge — not sliding — and asked Young a series of questions surrounding these details.
Young initially did not remember the name of the hotel, Jackson pointed out, and had originally told detectives she only recalled that her alleged assault occurred at a hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., but not the Montage specifically. When authorities brought her to the Montage, she said “by walking through that room,” she “got to relive” her trauma,” as memories came flooding back to her.
In an effort to display the speed at which Weinstein could have undressed, at one point, Jackson took off his suit jacket in the courtroom, seemingly intending to show the jury that if Weinstein was wearing a suit, there would be many steps to fully undress, despite Young claiming Weinstein had taken his clothes off quickly.
