Notorious Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison in New York for forcing women to have sex. This sentencing came after years of litigation in Weinstein’s criminal case in New York State.
A New York judge Wednesday sentenced Harvey Weinstein to 15 years in prison in the latest development in the tarnished Hollywood mogul’s complicated legal battle.
Weinstein was convicted last year by a jury of one count of criminal sexual conduct, forcing oral sex on Miriam Haley, a production assistant on “Project Runway,” 20 years ago. After three criminal trials in New York over six years, the Haley charge is Weinstein’s only remaining conviction in New York State. His legal team plans to appeal.
