In closing arguments, the prosecutor calls Harvey Weinstein an 'abusive rapist' and a 'predator.'
. He's pleaded not guilty to all charges and claims any sexual encounters were consensual.
Harvey Weinstein arrives for his sexual assault trial at New York Criminal Court on Feb. 14, 2020 in New York City."That's the hallmark of a predator," Illuzzi continued."Isolate them, and they can feel like they're the only one. And he's a giant not only in his own industry, but he's somebody that gets presidents on the phone.Illuzzi described nearly all the accusers as having been"tricked and surprised" into being alone with Weinstein.
Weeks after the forcible sexual assault he's charged with committing on her, the former"Project Runway" production assistant went again to Weinstein's apartment, this time with his assistant. Rotunno, in her closing arguments on Thursday, cited dozens of emails from both women to Weinstein after the alleged assaults, many of them seeking some sort of favor from him -- whether it was professional support or advice about their own projects, movie premiere tickets or simply personal advice.
Yet"[as] soon as she's in the room, like a puff of smoke, the assistant is gone. The defendant violates her except this time she doesn't resist it. Mimi has this last event where she's alone with the defendant she says to herself, 'I'm so stupid. I got myself into this situation.' She just waits for it to be done ... She says after that, he took everything I had, here was nothing else to take and I no longer feared him.
