Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 15 years in New York sexual assault case
Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday morning for sexually assaulting Miriam Haley at his Manhattan apartment in 2006.
Harvey Weinstein, the former Hollywood film producer, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday for sexually assaulting former Project Runway production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. The 74-year-old Weinstein was found guilty of a sexual act he allegedly committed against Haley at his Manhattan apartment. During the sentencing, Haley spoke about the traumatic impact the assault and subsequent trial had on her life.
Weinstein expressed remorse for his actions but claimed his innocence. A jury had previously convicted him of two criminal sexual assault charges in 2020 and 2025. Prosecutors argued Weinstein showed no remorse and sought a 20-year prison sentence, claiming his actions posed a significant threat to society. The defense attorney, however, stated Weinstein was a sick 74-year-old man with multiple ailments, requesting a nine-year sentence.
