Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday, more than a year after a jury found the former Hollywood mogul guilty of sexually assaulting former “Project Runway” production assistant Miriam Haley in a high-stakes retrial.
Weinstein appeared in the downtown Manhattan courtroom in a wheelchair, his hands cuffed to his seat.
In a victim impact statement read aloud in the courtroom, Haley said Weinstein “abused his position and power,” causing a “devastating effect on my life and security.”
“It is a life sentence for me,” Haley said.
Weinstein also addressed the court, again denying the allegations against him while apologizing to “anyone I may have hurt by my actions.” He had pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree criminal sexual act.
“It’s a life sentence for me.”
Good, just a few decades too late.
