Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr said: "This indictment brings the defendant another step closer to accountability for the crimes of violence with which he is now charged.
"Our office will try this case not in the press, but in the courtroom where it belongs.
"The defendant’s recent assault on the integrity of the survivors and the legal process is predictable.
"We are confident that when the jury hears the evidence, it will reject these attacks out of hand."
He also urged additional survivors and others with relevant information to come forward.
