Former Hollywood film mogul Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 16 years in prison in Los Angeles on Thursday for rape and sexual assault charges dating back ...

"Please don't sentence me to life in prison," the disgraced Hollywood star told the court. A mistrial was declared. He avoided a sentence of up to 24 years after a jury was unable to agree on whether Weinstein had planned the rape or whether the victim was "particularly vulnerable". In 2020, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault against a production assistant in 2006 and an aspiring actress in 2013. Before Thursday's sentencing, Weinstein maintained he was innocent and the victim of a "set-up". He was convicted of attacking an actress in a hotel room during a film festival in the city in February 2013.

Disgraced producer was previously convicted of rape and sexual assault in New York and is serving a 23-year term.

In her statement during the sentencing hearing, Jane Doe #1, weeping, spoke to “all those people who feel ashamed, who blame themselves”. A previous sentencing hearing for Weinstein in January was pushed back until 23 February to allow his attorneys to file a motion for a new trial. Prosecutors in Los Angeles have yet to say whether they will retry Weinstein on counts they were unable to reach a verdict on. “This trial was a stark reminder that we as a society have work to do.” The difference, he said, was the women’s “subsequent action”. He called the case “a setup”. One male juror said he voted to convict on the Jane Doe #1 counts, but reluctantly voted to acquit on the counts involving Siebel Newsom. Others, including Siebel Newsom, had friendly email exchanges with Weinstein or sought out future meetings after their incidents, a point the defense emphasized in their cross-examinations and closing arguments. Jurors acquitted Weinstein of assaulting another woman, a massage therapist, and failed to reach a verdict on whether he raped or assaulted two other women, including Jennifer Siebel Newsom, an actor and film producer who is now married to Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California. Weinstein pleaded not guilty to all charges in both of his criminal trials, and has denied ever engaging in non-consensual sex. “Please don’t sentence me to life in prison. “There is no prison sentence long enough to undo the damage.”

Elsewhere, defense attorney Mark Werksman pointed out that Weinstein was a 70 year old in bad health and said he had lost four teeth while in prison. Weinstein had pleaded not guilty to all charges in both of his criminal trials and has consistently denied accusations of rape and sexual assault.
