- Judge Curtis Farber imposed the sentence Wednesday after a jury convicted Weinstein last year of a criminal sexual act against former assistant Miriam Haley.
- Haley delivered a victim impact statement saying the assault had a "devastating effect on my life and sense of security that may never go away."
- District attorney Nicole Blumberg asked for 20 years, stating Weinstein never showed remorse for his crimes.
- Weinstein denied the allegations but apologized in court, saying: "I live with many regrets and sincerely apologize for my actions."
