A prosecutor called Harvey Weinstein a “predator” with unmistakable patterns who used his Hollywood power to lure women into meetings and sexually assault them.
Deputy District Attorney Marlene Martinez said the accusers who testified during the trial entered Weinstein’s hotel suites or let him into their hotel rooms with no idea what awaited them.
"These are eight women who do not know each other," Martinez said, showing the jury a composite image of all of them on a screen. "They all describe the same conduct by the same man."Weinstein’s attorneys have said, and are likely to argue in their own closing Thursday, that two of the women had consensual sex for career advancement with the movie producer. His attorneys have said the encounters with the other two women didn’t happen at all.
"For this predator, hotels were his trap," Martinez said. "Confined within those walls victims were not able to run from his hulking mass. People were not able to hear their screams, they were not able to see them cower." Weinstein, sitting at the defense table, did not look across the courtroom at Martinez during her presentation, staring forward, looking at the screen she was projecting images on, and occasionally looking down to make notes.
