Manhattan jurors at Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial sat through some cringe-worthy testimony Tuesday before things really took a turn for the worse.
Toward the end of the day, the panel was shown five nude photos of the portly, 67-year-old disgraced producer, presumably to help corroborate his alleged victims’ description of his odd genitalia.
One female Manhattan Supreme Court juror made a slight face when she saw the snaps, while another woman on the panel raised her eyebrows and a male juror opened his eyes widely.
The photos — including a full-frontal snap of Weinstein — were among 72 shots taken by a photographer for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office during its investigation into the criminal case.
Weinstein was later asked by a reporter outside court whether the photos were of him in the buff.
“No, it was Playboy,’’ the former powerhouse producer chortled.
The photos were introduced as evidence Tuesday, although not for the public’s eyes. Weinstein’s lawyers futilely objected to even the jury seeing them.
The snaps of the defendant were taken June 18, 2018, prosecutors said.
In introducing them, an ADA asked DA photographer Yakov Mandelman, “Do they fairly accurately represent how the defendant looked’’ on the date?
The shutterbug said yes.
