Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday for a felony sex crime in another #MeToo reckoning.
Weinstein’s sentencing for sexually assaulting one-time TV production assistant Miriam Haley followed a legal odyssey spanning more than six years after his 2020 conviction was overturned. A jury found Weinstein guilty again at a retrial last year.
Once among the most powerful figures in the entertainment industry, Weinstein was an Oscar-winning producer whose hits included Shakespeare in Love, Pulp Fiction and Chocolat. But his downfall came quickly after sexual assault allegations in 2017 set off the #MeToo movement.
In 2024, New York’s highest court erased Weinstein’s conviction six years earlier and ordered a new trial, ruling that Weinstein was prejudiced by testimony from other women whose allegations weren’t part of the case.
