Charges

Sentence and rape charges

The Oscar-winning producer is most likely to be incarcerated for the rest of his life. Weinstein, 70, was seen seated in a wheelchair and implored the judge, "I beg your mercy" before she pronounced his sentence. He was charged with the rape of a former model and actor identified as Jane Doe 1, at a Los Angeles hotel in February 2013.
