LOS ANGELES — Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Thursday to 16 years in prison for rape in his Los Angeles sexual assault trial.
The sentence will be served consecutively after a 23-year prison sentence he is currently serving in New York for criminal sexual assault and third-degree rape.
Judge Lisa Lench sentenced Weinstein to eight years for count 1, six years for count 2 and two years for count 3, to be served consecutively. Jane Doe 1 addressed the court Thursday prior to the sentencing announcement, saying Weinstein's"selfish, disgusting actions have greatly impacted my life." Following his conviction for rape last year, Jane Doe 1 said in a statement, in part,"Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night in 2013 and I will never get that back. The criminal trial was brutal and Weinstein's lawyers put me through hell on the witness stand, but I knew I had to see this through to the end, and I did."The four women all testified during the trial, including Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Siebel Newsom said the"most important takeaway" is that"we all have a role to play in healing this culture where violence against women is the norm." In their motion requesting a new trial, Weinstein's defense said the judge erred when he refused to allow evidence that could have impeached the credibility of two witnesses -- Jane Doe 1 and Pascal Vicedomini, the founder of an Italian film festival in LA.
