NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Wednesday to 23 in prison for rape and sexual assault, a sight the Hollywood mogul’s multitude of accusers thought they would never see.

Weinstein, who has been accused of violating scores of women, was convicted last month of raping a woman in a New York City hotel room in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex on another woman at his apartment in 2006. He faced a maximum of 29 years in prison.
Both women that Weinstein was convicted of assaulting — a once-aspiring actress and a former TV and film production assistant — spoke in court Wednesday before Judge James Burke announced the sentence, confronting Weinstein again after their testimony helped seal his conviction at the landmark #MeToo trial.
Burke also heard from Weinstein’s lawyers, who pleaded for leniency because of his age and frail health, and prosecutors, who said the man once celebrated as a titan of Hollywood deserved a harsh sentence that would account for allegations of wrongdoing dating to the 1970s.
Shelly Silver I cant wait till you ganef and philanderer and total sell out to the teachers union awaits this very fate, let this be your last pesach in your fancy Miami hotel as the rest of your days will be in a cold prison in upstate.
This is mass rule at its worst. They did not really prove their case but managed to convince a jury by throwing as many cases as might stick. If I were single today I would behave in a very Torah style way even if I was not Jewish.
In prison sex offenders generally are not treated well by the general inmate population…they are on the bottom of the food chain. I suspect that Weinstein is going to become well acquainted with Involuntary Protective Custody. Isolation by another name…and he deserves it.
just curious
why it will make you feel better if Shelly Silver sits in jail
i dont know Shelly nor do i know the details of his case
however hes a frum jew
how does your life change either way if he goes to jail
trying to understand why you cant wait till he goes to jail
People, it’s Shushan Purim ler’s be xtra careful with loshon horah and rechilus and especially when most readers don’t even know details of what you’re talking about. Gratuitously bringing in a name that has nothing to do with Weinstein. Tread carefully.
Remember Weinstein was a major Democrat party donor, friends with all major democrats including rapist bills enabler wife, the question is who knew what and when did they know it about Weinstein and his proclivities.
Twenty-something years seems about right. Shame on the man who whined about his well-deserved sentence. I hope were I in such a situation I could take it like a man.
