Harvey Weinstein Sentenced To 23 Years In Prison For Rape Conviction

Harvey Weinstein, 67, is seen here outside a Manhattan courthouse on Feb. 24, 2020. The former Hollywood mogul spoke for the first time in his own defence on Wednesday, saying he was"totally confused.", 67, has been sentenced to 23 years behind bars following his rape conviction in late February.

Weinstein had been seated in front of an empty row reserved for his supporters as he listened to his accusers read impact statements. The former movie producer has been in New York state custody since a panel of 12 jurors: one for raping the once-aspiring actor Jessica Mann in 2006 and another for forcing a sexual act on former production assistant Miriam “Mimi” Haleyi in 2013.

Because the jury declined to convict him on the two most serious counts, which could have led to a life sentence, Weinstein had faced a maximum penalty of 29 years behind bars.
