The New York trial of Harvey Weinstein and its California sequel had a rare crossover as the only accuser of the former movie magnate to give evidence at both took to the witness box in Los Angeles and said he sexually assaulted her in a Beverly Hills hotel bathroom in 2013 while she repeatedly told him “no”.

Lauren Young said she was paralysed by fear when Weinstein blocked her from leaving the bathroom, performed a sex act in front of her and groped her.
