Weinstein sentenced to 15 years

Harvey Weinstein received a 15-year prison sentence Wednesday for a 2006 sex crime in New York.

Retrial after overturned conviction

Weinstein's sentencing followed a retrial after New York's highest court overturned his 2020 conviction in 2024.

Haley's testimony

Haley described being sexually assaulted by Weinstein at his Manhattan apartment in 2006 after she refused his advances.

Haley's impact

Haley said the assault has had a devastating effect on her life and sense of security that may never go away.

“Having been sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein has had a devastating effect on my life and sense of security that may never go away.”

Weinstein's apology

Weinstein apologized in court to those he may have hurt but maintained his innocence.

“I do have remorse for Miriam Haley's pain, but I have to reiterate my innocence.”

Original conviction

Weinstein was originally sentenced to 23 years after a 2013 jury convicted him of assaulting Haley and raping Jessica Mann.

New York court decision

New York's highest court erased Weinstein's 2020 conviction in 2024, ruling he was prejudiced by testimony from other women.

Health issues

Weinstein has been hospitalized six times since 2025 for blood cancer, congestive heart failure, and kidney issues.

Current prison location

Weinstein is now housed at a medical unit for jail inmates at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.
