Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer is not thrilled with the conditions of his client’s holding cell where he’s awaiting trial.

The disgraced Hollywood film producer is currently standing trial in Los Angeles for several sex crime charges revealed five years ago during the height of the #MeToo movement. Weinstein’s lawyer, Mark Werksman, told the judge Tuesday that his client’s accommodations were unacceptable and that he didn’t even have a place to use the bathroom.

“It’s almost medieval, the conditions,” Werksman said, according to The New York Post. “He’s 70 years old. I’m worried about him surviving this ordeal without a heart attack or stroke.”
