Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Wednesday to 15 years in New York state prison and five years of post-release supervision for sexually assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. A Manhattan jury convicted him in June 2025 of first-degree criminal sexual act, and the sentencing judge ordered him to register as a sex offender.
The case was retried after New York’s highest court overturned Weinstein’s 2020 conviction and 23-year sentence in April 2024. The reversal addressed trial procedure and evidence, not a finding that the assault did not occur. At the retrial, a new jury again convicted Weinstein on the count involving Haley.
Prosecutors requested a 20-year sentence and said Weinstein continued to deny responsibility. CBS New York reported that Weinstein apologized to people he had hurt while also maintaining that he was innocent. The judge imposed 15 years, describing the conduct against Haley as an abuse of power.
The retrial jury did not reach a verdict on a separate rape allegation involving Jessica Mann, and prosecutors later dropped that charge rather than conduct another trial. Weinstein also remains convicted in California of rape and sexual assault; a California appeals court upheld those verdicts in June 2026 while ordering a new sentencing hearing.
