"I really feel remorse for this situation," the former Hollywood producer said, his voice barely audible, as he addressed the court before the sentence was handed down. "I feel it deeply in my heart. I will spend my time really caring and really trying to be a better person."
"I'm not going to say that these aren't great people," he also said of his accusers. "I've had wonderful times with these people."
Weinstein wore a blank face as he was taken out of the courtroom. His accusers cried together in the front row.
Weinstein, 67, arrived to his sentencing hearing in a wheelchair and handcuffs. He faced between five and 29 years for last month's convictions on first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape.
Judge James Burke sentenced Weinstein to 20 years in prison for first-degree criminal s#x act and 3 years in prison for third-degree rape. The sentences will run consecutively and both come with 5 years of supervision after release.
The charges were based on testimony by Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann, who both spoke at Wednesday's sentencing.
"If Harvey Weinstein had not been convicted by this jury, it would have happened again and again and again," Haley told the court. "I'm relieved he will now know he's not above the law. I'm relieved there are women out there who are safer because he's not out there."
When your crime finally catch up with you.
ReplyDelete67 + 23 = Life in prison.
ReplyDeleteThat's what he deserves.
Its concurrently, 23 ÷ 2, I think.
DeleteGood for him,he must pay for his crime,I just hope he wont commit suicide in prison.
Brown Sucre its 23. 5 is running concurrently with 23 meaning he's spending 23 years. Concurrently doesn't mean division.
DeleteIt says consecutively not concurrently meaning one after the other
DeleteThere’s parole
DeleteChai... na women tohtoh finish him life so.
ReplyDeleteChai ...women tohtoh get too much power o.
Chai... make men no dey joke with tohtoh o.
All these your chants of toh🤐🤐 is for what?
DeleteWhat finished the man was LUST, LACK OF SELF CONTROL AND PRIDE.
There is vagina created by God for marital fulfillment and procreation.
Do not blame women, blame the man's lack of self control. It is a lesson
to people to discipline the flesh inugo?
🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Its lack of self control that killed him.
DeleteWomen tout oh (in your words) don’t have any special power. It’s lust of these men that put them in trouble. Some of the me too people are just doing it for clout and vengeance. This is not to say this dude is not guilty but soon, women too will be pressed. It’s more of gender war going on then justice. This particular one is justice tho
DeleteNa wa oh

Deletehmmm nawa o
ReplyDeleteWhen he was enjoying himself preying on those powerless women with the world in his pocket, it never crossed his mind that this is how he would end up in life. How powerful V Power is, I'm so impressed. Please help me check the look on Oprah's face. KARMA sure shows up in style.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with all these 'steins and sex sef , dem take woman sware for them?Epstein , now Weinstein and tgey were both very rich.
ReplyDeleteThey r all jewish bastards!!!
DeleteDoing wicked things serially and cover up is like 5 & 6 to them.
Hmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteAfi igba ti trailer gba egungun. One day, monkey go go market, e no go come back.
ReplyDeleteWhen he was ejaculating into plants and raping women, he did not know that karma was preparing his jollof that he will eat and not finish. He did not know that the devil that temps you to steal has already planted used tire at the junction.
For this kind of guy that was the 🌟 maker, coming out of prison as a pariah is the real punishment. After spending over a decade behind bars, he would be released as an exfriend of everyone who is famous and powerful. People who begged to take a selfie with you won't pick the calls of a sex offender not to talk of read his emails. He would be a stranger and danger to his children and his ex-wife and her lawyers will show him a glimpse of hell fire. Even to get a hooker to spend an hour will be fight and that one may even send him on another missionary journey to jail. Sebi you know how to destroy women's lives, oya you too star in this action film you've written for yourself. Na you write exam. Enjoy the result.
Let me also add this in advance: HARVEY WEINSTEIN DID NOT KILL HIMSELF. I don't want to hear stories that touch o. He should be allowed to write from behind bars and name names of fellow Eleribus so that they can be retired from their bastardy.
ReplyDeleteAs a feminist, this case isn't a victory for feminism but has set the feminist agenda back instead of moving it forward. Will we ever be taken seriously?
ReplyDeleteHarvey Weinstein was in a position of power and he used it against women which is the core of this abuse of power but rape really? These women were desperate to do anything for fame and years later when they didn't get the fame they thought they would and feeling repulsed by having slept with the gross Harvey Weinstein thought well what's the best way to vent there frustration, well let's accuse him of rape. Surely he must have raped one or two but majority of these women knew what they were doing. To jump on the rape wagon is a serious disservice to real victims of this heinous crime. You shouldn't do something transactional in nature, regret it and cry rape.
Karma is a bitch
