A court in New York makes a judgment. Harvey Weinstein must go to prison for 15 years. The state attorney wants 20 years. Weinstein is now 74 years old. He is in prison for some time. The judgment is about a crime from the year 2006. He hurts a woman then. The name of the woman is Miriam Haley. She works as a production assistant. She tells the court about her pain. Weinstein says that he feels sorry. He is very sick. He has blood cancer and heart trouble. His lawyers want a short penalty.
There are older judgments against Weinstein. A court gives him 23 years in prison in the year 2020. But the court cancels the judgment later. The reason is a mistake in the trial. Therefore, a new trial starts. A court in California also condemns him. He gets 16 years in prison there. More than 80 women say that he hurts them. Weinstein denies the deeds. He says that the contacts are voluntary.
