CONFIRMED: On Sept. 23, 2026, Harvey Weinstein, 74, was sentenced in Manhattan to 15 years in prison for a first-degree criminal sex act against former TV production assistant Miriam Haley (also known as Mimi Haleyi) in 2006, according to Associated Press reporting carried by PBS NewsHour, The Guardian (opens in new tab), and TMZ (opens in new tab).

CONFIRMED (case history, as reported): Weinstein’s original New York convictions were erased by New York’s highest court in 2024, which ordered a new trial. In a subsequent retrial he was again convicted of assaulting Haley; other counts involving other accusers ended in acquittal or were dropped after a hung jury, clearing the path to Wednesday’s sentencing.

CONFIRMED (positions in court): Manhattan prosecutors asked for 20 years. Defense counsel cited Weinstein’s failing health — including cancer and heart issues, and his use of a wheelchair — and sought a far shorter additional term on top of time already served. Haley addressed the court about lasting harm; Weinstein apologized for her pain while reiterating that he maintains his innocence.

CONTEXT: Weinstein has already served more than six years as the case moved through appeals and retrials, outlets report. He also faces resentencing proceedings in a separate Los Angeles rape case. The Event Record is reporting the New York sentence as a confirmed court outcome — not a referendum on every unadjudicated allegation.
