The Manhattan district attorney has urged the judge ruling over Harvey Weinstein's LA trial to consider the convicted sex offender's history of abuse dating back to the 1970s
next week to consider dozens of incidents of assault and abuse dating back to the late 1970s.
Weinstein is due to be sentenced on Wednesday on two charges: first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape. He faces anywhere from five to 29 years in prison. Two women who testified at the trial — Jessica Mann and Miriam Haley — are expected to give their own statements to the court. The document also cites a former executive who saw Weinstein punch his brother, Bob, during a meeting, knocking him unconscious and causing him to bleed. The document also alleges that Weinstein threatened to punch one of his board members in 2015 and threatened to kill him. On another occasion, Weinstein allegedly threatened to send someone to the board member’s office “to cut off his genitals with gardening shears.
