He was nonetheless given three consecutive sentences totaling 16 years by Judge Lisa Lench for forceful rape, forcible oral copulation, and sexual penetration by a foreign object.
The unnamed actress had pleaded with the judge to impose “the greatest penalty permissible” on Weinstein.
“His selfish, disgusting actions have greatly impacted my life,” she said.
“There is no prison sentence long enough to undo the damage.”
Weinstein’s attorneys stated they want to appeal the Los Angeles conviction and sentence right now, which was revealed by a jury in December.
Explicit reports of encounters between the formerly powerful film producer and a number of young ladies looking to get into Hollywood were presented throughout the trial.
Due to his then-powerful position in the industry, prosecutors claim Weinstein used and assaulted women for years while enjoying a long period of impunity.
