New York prosecutors began making their rape case against
Harvey Weinstein on Wednesday, describing the former movie producer as a
Hollywood power broker who was "no match" for his female accusers.

"The man seated right there was not just a titan in Hollywood, he was a rapist," Assistant District Attorney Meghan Hast said during opening statements before a jury in Manhattan criminal court.
The trial is a watershed moment for the #MeToo movement, in which women have gone public with allegations against powerful men in business and politics.
