Harvey Weinstein begged for leniency in a Los Angeles court moments before he was given an additional 16 years in prison for rape. Please don’t sentence me to life in prison,” the disgraced Hollywood star told the court. “I don’t deserve it.” More than 80 people have made rape and misconduct claims about Weinstein dating back as far as the late 1970s.
The 70-year-old is already serving a 23-year prison sentence for a separate conviction in New York.
