#NEWS: CA: Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 16 years in prison
Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Thursday to 16 years in prison after a California jury convicted him in December 2022 on charges of rape, sexual penetration by a foreign object and forcible oral copulation after a model and actress testified he assaulted her in a Beverly Hills hotel room in February 2013.
Weinstein had pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
Weinstein, who heard a victim impact statement from Jane Doe 1, the woman who he was convicted of raping, addressed the court before the Judge Lisa B. Lench read her sentence.
“I maintain that I’m innocent. I never raped or sexually assaulted Jaen Doe 1. I never knew this woman, and the fact is she doesn’t know me,” he said, later adding, “Please don’t sentence me to life in prison. I don’t deserve it.”
Weinstein is several years into a 23-year prison sentence issued in New York in 2020 after he was found guilty of first-degree criminal sexual act and a third-degree rape. He has appealed the conviction.
