Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexual assault
Assault survivor Miriam Haley said the "devastating effect on my life and sense of security that may never go away".
Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 15 years in prison, after a jury found him guilty last year of committing a criminal sexual act against a former assistant.
In a victim impact statement in court, Miriam Haley said the assault had had a "devastating effect on my life and sense of security that may never go away".
Appearing in court in a wheelchair, Weinstein denied the allegations but apologised to "anyone I may have hurt by my actions".
He was originally convicted and sentenced in the Miriam Haley case in 2020. But in 2024, New York's highest court overturned the conviction, ruling Weinstein did not get a fair trial. He was retried and convicted again last year on a single charge of a criminal sexual act against Haley.
