Harvey Weinstein Sentenced Again to 15 Years for 2006 Sexual Assault
After eight years of legal twists and turns, the former producer was sentenced Wednesday to this term, according to France 24.
Harvey Weinstein was sentenced on Wednesday to 15 years in prison for a sexual assault committed in 2006, after eight years of legal twists and turns, according to France 24.
The former Hollywood movie mogul had already been the subject of several trials in the United States, in connection with accusations of sexual misconduct brought by multiple women since 2017.
The legal proceedings against Weinstein have gone through several stages, between initial convictions, appeals and new trials, illustrating the complexity of the case since its opening.
The transcript did not specify the exact court that handed down Wednesday's sentence, or whether Weinstein's defense plans to appeal the new sentence.
The Weinstein case is widely considered to be one of the triggers of the #MeToo movement, which has led to increased scrutiny of sexual misconduct accusations in many industries.
