Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 15 years in New York sex assault case
–
Neutral summary
A New York court on September 23 sentenced 74-year-old Harvey Weinstein to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley. The sentence was handed down by Judge Curtis Farber after a retrial in which Weinstein was found guilty. The incident dates back to 2006, when, according to the prosecution, Weinstein forced Haley to perform oral sex in his apartment in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood. Prosecutors had sought a 20-year term, while the defense asked for nine years. Weinstein reportedly apologized but maintained his innocence. In 2020, he had been sentenced to 23 years in another case, but that conviction was overturned on appeal. Haley told the court about the “devastating effect” the assault had on her life and sense of security. The case is seen as a landmark for the #MeToo movement. Weinstein also faces a resentencing in California.
