HARVEY WEINSTEIN SENTENCING
NEW YORK CITY, USA | 11 MARCH 2020

Harvey Weinstein is due to be sentenced on March 11. He was convicted on two counts which carry charges of a maximum penalty of 29 years in prison.

In a letter filed in advance of Weinstein’s sentencing on Wednesday for his New York City rape conviction, his defense team asked the judge to give him to only five years behind bars — a far cry from the potential 29-year maximum term allowed by law.

Once Weinstein is sentenced, he’ll be transferred from the city’s jail system to the state prison system. There, he will undergo a thorough evaluation, including a comprehensive medical review, to determine which facility is best to imprison him.
