Harvey Weinstein set to be sentenced for sexual assault after 6-year legal odyssey
Prosecutors seek 20 years as the 74-year-old producer faces sentencing again after New York’s highest court erased his earlier convictions.
- Harvey Weinstein faces sentencing today for sexually assaulting Miriam Haley in 2006, with prosecutors seeking up to 25 years in prison for the conviction.
- New York courts overturned Weinstein's 2020 conviction in 2024, ruling he was prejudiced by testimony from other women. He was convicted again last year of assaulting Haley in his Manhattan apartment.
- Manhattan prosecutors requested a 20-year sentence that would keep Weinstein imprisoned until his late 80s. Haley, represented by Gloria Allred, plans to address the court, as will Weinstein.
- Currently housed at Bellevue Hospital, the ailing Weinstein faces significant health challenges his lawyers cited, including chronic myeloid leukemia and diabetes requiring wheelchair access to court.
- Once sentenced, Weinstein can appeal the conviction. He is also awaiting resentencing in a separate rape case in Los Angeles after an appellate court invalidated his prior sentence.
