Harvey Weinstein's sentencing in New York retrial

Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 15 years in prison following his retrial in New York, stemming from a 2006 sexual assault conviction. The sentencing concludes a legal process that saw his original 2020 conviction overturned on appeal, leading to a retrial on the underlying charges. Weinstein, already facing separate legal consequences from California proceedings, remains a central figure in the broader #MeToo-era reckoning with sexual misconduct allegations against him.
