Quick Summary

Harvey Weinstein, 74, faces resentencing on Wednesday in New York for the 2006 sexual assault of Miriam Haley, which resulted in a guilty verdict in 2025 after a retrial. He previously received a 23-year sentence that was overturned on appeal but is now expected to face at least two decades in prison again. Weinstein’s case has been central to the MeToo movement, following allegations from over 80 individuals exposed by The New Yorker and The New York Times investigations. Additionally, he awaits resentencing in California for a separate conviction of rape and assault from 2013.

Story summary

Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul once at the center of power in Hollywood, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday for sexually assaulting a former production assistant, Miriam Haley, in 2006. This follows his conviction after a retrial in New York last year and overturning of his original 2020 conviction by the state's highest court in 2024 due to prejudicial testimony from other women whose allegations were not part of the case.

Weinstein, now 74, was rolled into Manhattan Supreme Court in a wheelchair, pleading for "mercy" and acknowledging he is "not perfect." Prosecutors sought up to 25 years in prison but had indicated they would accept 15 years. Judge Curtis Farber noted Weinstein's legacy could have been greatness but instead included the assault on Haley.

Haley, who was present at the sentencing, stated that being sexually assaulted by Weinstein has caused her "devastating effects" and a loss of security that may never fully recover. She had testified twice about the incident where Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her after inviting her back to his Manhattan apartment.

But investigations by The New Yorker and The New York Times exposed a raft of abusive behaviour and prompted an avalanche of allegations from more than 80 people. Weinstein is also to be resentenced in California for the 2013 rape and assault of an actress in a Los Angeles hotel room, after an appeals court in June upheld the conviction but vacated his 16-year prison term.
