Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years in prison on rape, criminal sex act convictions

NEW YORK – Harvey Weinstein, 67, was sentenced in New York City on Wednesday to 23 years in prison for third-degree rape and a criminal sex act as he maintained he simply had consensual "extramarital affairs" with the victims.

Weinstein was convicted on two counts last month: criminal sex act for the 2006 assault of a production assistant and rape in the third degree for the 2013 attack on another woman. On the criminal sex act count, he faced a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 25 years, while the third-degree rape count carried a maximum penalty of four years in prison.

Weinstein, who arrived in court on Wednesday in a wheelchair, addressed the judge even though he had opted out of testifying on his own behalf during his trial.

I pray his sentencing is not a shortened time served, he should have to do the whole 23 years.

It's too bad women don't come forward when it happens. I know this happens alot but women for one reason or another feel they can't - maybe this will pave the way for women to come forward sooner better than later.
