Harvey Weinstein isn't going anywhere — he'll be watching the Oscars from prison.
Shamed Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to another 16 years in jail for rape and sexual assault after he begged the judge for “mercy” and insisted he was the victim of a “set-up” — and branded his actress accuser an expert at turning on “the tears”.
All charges related to a single victim, a European model and actress who testified anonymously as ‘Jane Doe One’ during hearings. Jane Doe One said in a statement: “Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night in 2013, and I will never get that back.”
