Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 15 years in prison following his conviction for a criminal sexual act against a former assistant. The sentence was handed down after a jury found him guilty of the charges during a trial held last year.

During the sentencing proceedings, the survivor, Miriam Haley, delivered a victim-impact statement. She described the assault as having a profound and lasting impact on her life, noting that the trauma caused a loss of security that may never be fully recovered.
