Harvey Weinstein Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Sexual Assault Conviction

Disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, in New York, following his sexual assault conviction. The new sentence stems from a criminal sexual act against former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006, concluding a legal process that has spanned several years.

This sentencing in New York comes after his initial 2020 conviction was overturned by the state's highest court in 2024, leading to a retrial in 2025 where he was again found guilty of the charge involving Haley. Weinstein, who is 74, maintains his innocence and has denied sexually assaulting anyone. He also faces a separate conviction in California, where he was previously sentenced to 16 years for rape and sexual assault, though that specific sentence has been vacated and is awaiting a new hearing.
