Harvey Weinstein appeared Thursday in a Los Angeles court, where he was sentenced to 16 years in prison for raping a woman in 2013.
Judge Lisa B. Lench denied the disgraced movie mogul’s request for a new trial before the victim, Jane Doe 1, only identified as an Italian model, gave an impact statement. Weinstein — who is already serving a 32-year prison sentence in New York for criminal sexual assault and third-degree rape — then spoke to the court to plead for leniency before his sentence was handed down.“This is about money. This is what happens when there is a cottage industry of lawyers. She had every opportunity to report this to police.
“This is another story and with all due respect, Jane Doe 1 is an actress. She can turn the tears on. Please don’t sentence me to life in prison. I don’t deserve it. There are so many things wrong with this case. Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 16 years in prison for the rape of an Italian model in Los Angeles in 2013.
Weinstein had initially faced more than 11 counts of sexual assault against four women that took place between 2004 and 2013 at the trial, which lasted two months and concluded in December.
Weinstein- Epstein- Bankman-Fried... Well look at that! They all have a lot in common.
That’s all? Should be 60.
