Harvey Weinstein (70) will receive 16 years for rape and sexual assault.
The ex-Hollywood producer had already been found guilty of three counts of sex crimes at a criminal trial in New York in March 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison.
Harvey Weinstein's health has taken a major hit, seen here during the trial in New York in 2020.
Now a judge in Los Angeles sentenced him to another 16 years behind bars, again for rape. He is unlikely to get out of prison alive, as he is now serving a total of 39 years.
Weinstein himself had protested his innocence in court in LA: "I maintain that I am innocent. I never raped or sexually assaulted Jane Doe 1." The plaintiff also sat in the courtroom during his speech, bursting into tears.
Because: just moments before, she had to describe to judge Weinstein's assault at the time. "Before that night, I was a very happy and confident woman. I valued myself and the relationship I had with God," said the plaintiff, who is referred to only as "Jane Doe 1" in the trial.
She continued, "I was nervous about my future. Everything changed after the defendant brutally assaulted me. There is no prison sentence long enough to undo the damage."
The revelations about Weinstein led to the birth of the #MeToo movement just over five years ago. In total, nearly 90 women, including Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie (47), Gwyneth Paltrow (50) and Salma Hayek (56), have accused Weinstein of harassment or assault.
