Unfortunately, More Women Are Being Forced to Describe Harvey Weinstein’s ‘Deformed’ Genitalia
Because a prior conviction and innumerable accounts that prove a pattern of behavior just aren't enough evidence to prove rape occurred.

Every day, the United States justice system forces survivors of sexual violence to recount their assault or abuse and dredge up specific details to prove that potentially the worst thing to happen to them actually occurred. Now, during the second week of Harvey Weinstein’s second sex abuse trial, the producer’s “deformed” genitalia are, unfortunately, expected to play a starring role in the testimony of several alleged survivors. Because a prior conviction and the host of similar allegations that have been corroborated by countless women are just plain flaccid in comparison to a detailed description of a disfigured dick.
During opening statements in Los Angeles Superior Court, Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson reportedly told the court that all of the accusers set to testify against Weinstein will describe “unique things about his body”—namely, his balls. “What I’m referring to is the result of a surgery that the defendant had in 1999,” Thompson elaborated. “Because of an infection, his testicles were actually taken from his scrotum and put into his inner thighs.” The infection, it’s been reported, is known as Fournier’s gangrene, a life-threatening affliction that occurs when bacteria enters through a cut or scratch in the genitals and spreads through the bloodstream. “None of the Jane Does will describe his anatomy perfectly, but most of them will be able to describe these abnormalities that they observed during the assaults,” Thompson said.
