A New York prosecutor described Harvey Weinstein on Friday as a "master of the universe" who abused and discarded "disposable" women for decades, perpetually haunted that one day one of them would "walk out from the shadows and call him exactly what he was – an abusive rapist."

 

In a vivid, three-hour closing argument, New York Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi told jurors that day had arrived.

 

She called Weinstein a "predator" with a "sure-fire insurance policy – the witnesses were standing in line to get into his universe."

 

"The universe is run by me, and they don't get to complain when they get stepped on, spit on, demoralized and, yes, raped and abused by me – the king," Illuzzi said, pacing directly in front of the jury box, a day after defense attorney Donna Rotunno had chosen to remain mostly behind a podium facing jurors.
