Arts And Entertainment,Harvey Weinstein,Sexual Assault
A New York judge on Wednesday sentenced Harvey Weinstein to 15 years in prison, marking the latest chapter in the tangled legal saga of the disgraced Hollywood mogul.
Weinstein was convicted by a jury last year of one count of criminal sexual act for forcing oral sex on "Project Runway" production assistant Miriam Haley two decades ago. After three criminal trials in New York, over the course of six years, the single count involving Haley is Weinstein's only remaining conviction in the state. His legal team plans to appeal.
