The former Hollywood producer, whose case became a catalyst for the #MeToo movement after dozens of women accused him of sexual misconduct, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.

A court sentenced the former film producer to 15 years after his conviction, with survivor Miriam Haley describing lasting harm to her sense of security.

The disgraced movie mogul was sentenced Wednesday for sexually assaulting former TV production assistant Miriam Haley, France 24 reported.
The former film producer received the sentence following his retrial over the 2006 sexual assault of a former production assistant.
The ruling follows years of appeals and a retrial since Weinstein's original conviction for sexually assaulting a television production assistant.

The co-founder of Miramax studios, whose sexual crimes sparked the #MeToo movement, had already received a sixteen-year prison sentence.

The sentencing comes after years of appeals and retrials in a case involving former production assistant Miriam Haley.
