LOS ANGELES—Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was sentenced on Thursday to 16 years in prison for the 2013 rape of an actress in Los Angeles.
Weinstein was sentenced in a Los Angeles courtroom, where a jury in December found him guilty of rape, forcible oral copulation, and sexual penetration by a foreign object.
The charges stemmed from an assault on a former model and actress, identified in court as Jane Doe 1, at a Los Angeles hotel in February 2013.
Weinstein, the powerful co-founder of Miramax Films, a movie production and distribution house, will serve the sentence after completing his 23-year sentence for a sexual misconduct conviction in New York….
