BREAKING: Harvey Weinstein Has Been Sentenced To 23 Years In Prison For Rape And Sexual Assault
about how Weinstein raped her in 2013 during a years-long abusive and degrading relationship.
She asked the judge to give Weinstein the maximum sentence so that he had time behind bars to acknowledge his crimes. He downplayed the power he once held in Hollywood and talked about his charitable donations after 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy. He also talked about his family, saying it was"hell on earth" not being able to see his children.
"We thank the court for imposing a sentence that puts sexual predators and abusive partners in all segments of society on notice,” Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance said in a statement. She read out the ways in which people who had worked with Weinstein or knew him well had described him in interviews as a"devil,""a screaming bully,""a rapist,""a manipulator,""a monster" and someone with"predatory behavior" and a"very bad temper."
