Harvey Weinstein, a former Hollywood titan, was sentenced to 23 years in prison for sexual assault and rape. The sentence followed compelling arguments from both the prosecution and defense, as well as emotional victim statements. Weinstein was accused of forced oral sex on Mimi Halley in 2006 and raping Jessica Mann in 2013. Despite the accusations, Weinstein showed no remorse and likened the allegations to McCarthyism. Over 80 women have accused him, but he was only tried for two cases. The 2017 scandal sparked the MeToo movement, which gained a significant victory with this conviction.
