Harvey Weinstein appeared Thursday in a Los Angeles court, where he was sentenced to 16 years in prison for raping a woman in 2013.
Judge Lisa B. Lench denied the disgraced movie mogul’s request for a new trial before victim, Jane Doe 1, only identified as an Italian model, gave an impact statement.
Weinstein — who is already serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York for criminal sexual assault and third-degree rape — then spoke to the court to plead for leniency before his sentence was handed down.
