The Harvey Weinstein Saga is coming to a close, with a judge delivering his sentence in a New York courtroom earlier today.
The disgraced movie mogul received 23 years for his crimes. The sentence includes 20 years for a criminal sexual act, and another three years for third-degree rape.
This sentence comes after jurors dismissed the most serious allegations against the fallen movie mogul. Had he been convicted of all charges, he would have most certainly served life in prison.
If he doesn’t die in prison, Weinstein–who is currently 67-years-old–will be released when he is 90.
This decision has created a lot of controversy amongst the general public. The glaring question: is 23 years an appropriate sentence for Harvey Weinstein?
