Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison in New York on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, after a jury convicted him of sexually assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. The sentence closes a major chapter in the nine year courtroom saga that helped ignite the global Me Too movement. The sentence follows Weinstein’s overturned 2020 conviction and two later mistrials. Unless another appeal succeeds, the 74 year old former producer will remain incarcerated under the new New York judgment, with the punishment likely keeping him behind bars for the rest of his life. What Happens to Weinstein Next? Weinstein is expected to return to court in California for resentencing tied to his conviction for raping and sexually assaulting Italian model and actor Evgeniya Chernyshova at a Los Angeles hotel in 2013. New York Judge Curtis Farber said California officials will decide whether that sentence runs at the same time as the New York term or after it. Haley told the court that testifying again had been emotionally exhausting, especially after what she described as hostile questioning and online harassment. Haley previously testified at Weinstein’s 2020 trial and returned to the witness stand during the 2025 retrial, recounting that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her at his SoHo apartment on July 10, 2006. Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg asked Judge Farber for a 20 year sentence followed by five years of post release supervision. Weinstein has also faced chronic myeloid leukemia, diabetes, and serious mobility problems in recent years, according to the court report.
