Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 15 years
A New York judge sentenced former film producer Harvey Weinstein to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. Haley told the court the assault had caused lasting harm to her life and sense of security. The judgment followed a retrial and six years of legal proceedings.
Why it matters
The sentence is another major judgment in the criminal cases that grew from the #MeToo movement.
