The sentence comes on top of the more than 20 years Weinstein has left to serve for a similar 2020 conviction in New York
A Los Angeles judge on Thursday sentenced Harvey Weinstein to 16 years in prison after a jury convicted him of the 2013 rape and sexual assault of an Italian actor and model.
Weinstein directly appealed to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa B. Lench, saying: “I maintain that I’m innocent. I never raped or sexually assaulted Jane Doe 1.” The woman who Weinstein was convicted of raping sobbed in the courtroom as he spoke. Lench handed down the sentence Thursday after rejecting a motion by Weinstein’s lawyers for a new trial. Prosecutors and Weinstein’s attorneys declined comment after the sentencing.
The jury spared Weinstein an even longer sentence when they acquitted him of the sexual battery of a massage therapist and failed to reach verdicts on counts involving two other women.
