Harvey Weinstein Sentenced to 15 Years for 2006 Sex Crime
Former movie producer Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a 2006 sex crime. The sentencing follows a retrial in which a Manhattan jury found him guilty of a first-degree criminal sex act involving former production assistant Miriam Haley. Weinstein's conviction was part of the #MeToo movement. The legal process has spanned over six years, including appeals and the retrial after his original conviction was overturned. Miriam Haley stated in court that the assault had a "devastating effect on my life and sense of security that may never go away."
