Former well-known American film producer Harvey Weinstein was recently charged with eleven counts of sexual battery, rape, and forcible oral copulation; he was found guilty on four out of the eleven counts. Concluding his ongoing trial this past Monday, December 19, 2022, Weinstein is now facing 24 years in prison for his alleged 2004-2013 criminal actions, while currently serving a previously given 23-year sentence for sexual assault. The 70-year-old Hollywood mogul is presently looking at a total of 47 years behind bars.
Russian-born model and one of the victims from this specific case, who rightfully goes by the alias Jane Doe 1, testified against Weinstein throughout the course of the 3-month trial. After the lengthy three-month trial concluded, Jane Doe 1 went on to emotionally express her thoughts and relief on the entire situation: “Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part that night in 2013 and I will never get that back… The criminal trial was brutal and Weinstein’s lawyers put me through hell on the witness stand, but I knew I had to see this through to the end, and I did.” She finished with, “I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell during his lifetime.”
