NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday after a jury convicted the former Hollywood mogul of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, a former "Project Runway" production assistant, in a high-stakes retrial, according to NBC News.

Haley testified that Weinstein forcibly performed a sex act on her inside his New York City apartment in 2006. Jurors convicted him in June 2025 on a first-degree criminal sexual act charge tied to her allegation. The sentence will be followed by five years of supervised release, and Weinstein must register as a sex offender, CBS News New York reported.

A Case That Took Two Trials to Resolve

Weinstein was originally convicted in New York in 2020 of third-degree rape involving Jessica Mann and a separate criminal sexual act charge involving Haley, drawing a 23-year sentence. A state appeals court overturned that conviction in 2024, forcing a new trial. At the retrial, jurors again convicted him in the Haley case but deadlocked on the Mann allegation — twice, through two separate trials — before prosecutors declined to pursue that charge a fourth time, according to Fox News.

Weinstein, 73, remains separately convicted in California, where he was sentenced in 2023 to 16 years for a rape conviction tied to a 2013 assault — a conviction he is appealing.

Prosecutors said Wednesday's sentencing closes the New York chapter of a case that helped launch a global reckoning over sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry. Attorneys for Weinstein have signaled plans to appeal the Haley conviction as well, arguing pretrial publicity made a fair trial impossible.
