Model Says Harvey Weinstein Trapped Her In Hotel Bathroom, Fondled Her Breasts, Ejaculated On Floor

Then “aspiring model” Lauren Young told a jury this week about the details of an alleged assault by disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein where she wound up trapped in a hotel bathroom.

She thought the meeting with Weinstein was going to lead to her “big break”, she said, according to Bloomberg. She told the jury she had befriended a woman who was friends with Weinstein at an Oscars party in 2012 and that the woman invited her to meet at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills.

She said she was excited to pitch a script she had been working on and that Weinstein joined them at the hotel bar.

“He sat down and was on the phone and we started discussing what ideas we had for my script. He said what about America’s Next Top Model? I was trying to transition into acting, and reality TV just wasn’t what I wanted,” she said.

She continued: “He was looking down at his phone. I was so excited to talk to him, but he wasn’t really paying attention to me. He said, ‘Let’s finish this conversation and follow me upstairs, I have to get ready to present an award.'”

When she followed him to his room, she claimed that he had “trapped her in the bathroom” before stripping, fondling her breasts and ejaculating on the floor. 

After the incident, she says that Weinstein and one of his assistants continued to reach out to her, but that she declined to take his calls or have any further contact with him. 

Weinstein has been charged with rape and predatory sexual assault for alleged attacks on two women. Young is the last of three women the prosecution is using to try use to establish a pattern of predation. 

Annabella Sciorra, another witness, recently told the court Weinstein raped her in the early 1990s. Weinstein continues to maintain that all of the encounters were consensual and the relationships were “mutually beneficial”.
