By Sophie Long at Los Angeles Superior Court and Madeline HalpertEx-film mogul Harvey Weinstein begged for leniency in a Los Angeles court moments before he was given an additional 16 years in prison for rape.

More than 80 people have made rape and misconduct claims about Weinstein dating back as far as the late 1970s.Before Thursday's sentencing, Weinstein maintained he was innocent and the victim of a "set-up". "Everything changed after the defendant brutally assaulted me. There is no prison sentence long enough to undo the damage.""I never raped or sexually assaulted Jane Doe 1," he said.Weinstein called his accuser an "actress with the ability turn on her tears".

Look who’s begging now… 🐶

Did his victims beg for mercy?

He made SOMEBODY angry. Someone powerful. Who said he’s no longer protected. If you don’t believe me….when’s the last time you heard anyone in Hollywood going to jail for this and/or pedophilia in Hollywood, even though it’s openly rampant

Do stupid crimes get heavy fines and serve long times. Wessel

I would’ve said you won’t get life. The gas chamber or electric chair are over there. Which be would you want to do? Life or death.

Dont drop the soap

Rot in Jail rapist shitt

Did you offer mercy to your victims? Didn't think so...🖕

What about the woman he raped. Where was their mercy when they begged for it. No one is above the law no matter how much money or fame you have xx.

Congratulations to Harvey.

Oh well never mind 😳

BBC and their third rate gutter style journalism. What a sensationalist title for a simple report. And the masses are eating it up. Not the BBC we grew to respect. Scum.

Seems likely he will never live free , he is old and not well.

I’m sure all the women are glad to hear he’s squirming.

Harv is rapidly morphing into Quasimodo in appearance; of course Quas was a nice guy however.

Rot rapist.

Throw the bastard in jail and throw away the key. He abused his power and hurt many in the process.

Rot in hellHarvey!

Aww poor rapist 🥲

Now you see how it feels under abuse and injustices

Asked the judge to take into account his ‘generous donations to charity’ You mean the charity money he was donating so he could blindside people into thinking he was a good guy - just like Jimmy Saville did. Throw away the key, and let the cretin rot.

Bet they did

That nasty bastard can rot in fucking jail.

The guy is sick. Does he honestly feel that he only gets one sentence for all his victims. He should get 20 years for each one that way he will die in prison

His victims begged him to stop. He didn't listen. What makes him think he deserves mercy?

I thought he died

He'll be free to shuffle the streets when he's 109. No justice is there!

No mercy for you.

TRUMP NEXT👍

'Begs for mercy.' What were his victims doing when he showed no mercy. 🤔 What a cretin this person is.

And, a compassionate society would grant leniency. However, this is the US of A. Mother of all things Revenge. Let the poor man out. Everything has been taken from him. Shamed publicly. Enough is enough. Just let him live out his life in a modest dwelling...like the most of us.

World’s smallest violín decided it isn’t worth picking up the now for…

Lol, no. He can rot.

Jail !! Go now do not come back

the scariest thing for me is having all of that money and power and STILL being offended by someone turning me down or looking at me like i’m a bug. why isn’t the power and money enough? dude still wanted more when he already had enough. 🤔

He knew zenith nor he also knew nadir. Striking balance. those who benefited are long gone into silence.

What a ugly man

We know how it works: Rich/Powerful pose in a hospital bed with a ventilator mask and serve 1/10th of the sentence.

Mercy? Did his victims get mercy?

Did he learn how to beg for mercy from his victims? Glad to see the courts showing him that rich white guys don’t always get away with this stuff

You can beg for mercy Harvey, but you're not going to get it. You hurt countless women professionally and personally and we are so happy to know you will rot in prison for the rest of your miserable life.

Let him rot!!!

Such a tosser

mercy ? rot in piss, bozo

h3h3producitons

Did he give mercy to his victims. I think not do the crime do the time

Still no arrests coming from Epstein’s contacts though.

It should b 20 year'z in jailed? He should learn a lesson next time onwards he will b scared for doing all this ? Got it

Awww poor thing.....(!) what about all those women begging for you to stop, but you didn't. So now you need to suffer the consequences

What pisses me off is he's had his life really, and a bloody luxury one at that, whilst the women he attacked have had their lives destroyed at a time where they should be in their prime. No sentence is justice enough. He's a person who makes me hope there truly is a hell!

Revolting slug

If he'd been tried in Ireland, he might have gotten Judge Martin Nolan who has a reputation for letting male sex offenders off. Sadly for him, he got a proper sentence and I hope he feels every minute of it

A rapist who has the audacity to beg for mercy? F*£k you!!

If only our courts gave sentences like that.

Good riddance

Bet his victims begged for mercy too. 😡

They should let him beg a little longer. Then add a few more years to the sentence.

About as much mercy as he granted his victims. That is just how much mercy he deserves.

He is Jewish.

Those women also begged him to leave them alone, did he listen?

I bet his victims begged for mercy too. I hope this little bit of justice helps their recovery

No

He knows a lot of high-profile people. How long until he's Epstein'd?

Shower monitor position just opened up....

He did nothing wrong. Adult people can have sex in exange for anything they agree with.

Hope bubba is his celly mate.

Let him beg

Make him stand one foot for those 16 years

Epsteins customer list coming out soon - gonna see a lot of well known people beg for mercy 😁

LOL

In the UK?

Like the mercy he gave his victims, let him rot

Now the orange fellow

Ask for an execution on live TV.

But I don't understand he's walking with a Walker how can he go to jail if he's injured

Pass!

Mercy? What mercy did you give your victims? They should double the sentence just for that

No mercy! Air is too much mercy!

I remember the days Michelle Obama introduced Harvey as a very dear friend & wonderful human being..I’m sure he didn’t mean to say that

Awww, does he. My heart bleeds……🙄

His victims didn’t deserve a life sentence either, but that what they’re living with.

no mercy - do the crime,do the time..

Take it like you gave it, Harvey!! Now do Trump.

Not sure he said mercy.

Good so..

He was bulletproof until he wasn’t 😃

He should have just said, “I identify” as Prince Andrew and he could have paid them off and avoided jail.

Boo hoo hoo 😭

Awwww let him beg..

Typical narc, only cares about himself

Too damn bad

Well Deserved

SecretService who is going to take the case? thanks

Burn baby burn

There has been absolutely NO proof against this man. I am not saying he is innocent. But proofs aplenty for a certain Royal Prince. Will the USA act? Are you joking? The very foundation of the USA as a country is illegal.

Rape is Rape and he needs to do the time as if he can't do the time he should not have done the crime

Crook

TO BAD YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU, WE CARE ABOIT THE VICTIMS

There must be an ICJ, free of influence from donors - to try cases with years of geopolitical rape in foreign countries - by govts which enjoy power position in aid/trade

He doesn't deserve life in prison. It's too good for him.

Shame on such men and a lesson for such aimless characters who are blessed with so much yet have no direction in life

On deck

Begs for mercy Whatever

Bet he never gave much mercy - karma

Do the crime do the time… about time Trump faced the same level of justice

He should get 16 years for every woman that he has raped and abused.

he sed sorry let him go

Put the scum bag down!!

The dude is going to die in prison as he should.

His victims didn't get any mercy. They've lost their last 20 years, their best years!
