Harvey Weinstein Sentenced to Life in Prison After 16 Years for Rape Conviction in LA

Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 16 years in prison after being convicted of rape in Los Angeles. The sentence comes after Weinstein was found guilty of rape in the third degree and criminal sexual act in the first degree.

This sentence comes after an additional 16 years was added to his original sentence. Weinstein was found guilty of five counts of sexual assault and rape, including two counts of predatory sexual assault.

Weinstein’s sentencing marks a major victory for the #MeToo movement, which has been fighting for justice for victims of sexual assault and harassment.

The sentencing comes after Weinstein was convicted in a New York court in February of rape in the third degree and criminal sexual act in the first degree. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison in that case.

The Los Angeles sentence will run consecutively with the New York sentence, meaning Weinstein will be behind bars for the rest of his life.

Weinstein’s sentencing marks a major victory for the #MeToo movement and for victims of sexual assault and harassment. It sends a strong message that perpetrators of such crimes will not be tolerated and that justice will be served.
