Harvey Weinstein Gets 16 Years For Rape, Sexual Assault
Weinstein, who is already serving a 23-year sentence for a
sex crimes conviction in New York, was handed the latest sentence by a
Los Angeles court over the assault of a European actress a decade ago.
Attending court in a wheelchair, the 70-year-old Oscar-winning “Shakespeare in Love” producer begged the judge for “mercy.”
“Please don’t sentence me to life in prison. I don’t deserve it. There are so many things wrong with this case,” he said.
But
Judge Lisa Lench handed him three consecutive sentences totalling 16 years for forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by a foreign object, and forcible rape.
