sex-crime charge involving Kaja Sokola<\/a> and failed to reach a verdict on a rape allegation made by Jessica Mann.<\/p>\nThat unresolved charge eventually became the subject of yet another trial.<\/p>\n
But in June, prosecutors dropped the rape charge after Mann said she could not endure testifying against Weinstein again. She had already taken the witness stand in three separate proceedings involving the allegation.<\/p>\n
With that case dismissed, Weinstein\u2019s sentencing on the Haley conviction could finally move forward.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors had asked the judge to impose a 20-year sentence, while Weinstein\u2019s attorney requested a significantly shorter term, arguing that Weinstein has already spent more than six years behind bars.<\/p>\n
The 15-year sentence does not mean Weinstein\u2019s legal troubles are over. He was also convicted in California of raping an Italian actor and is appealing that conviction. He is expected to serve a 16-year sentence in California after completing his New York punishment.<\/p>\n
For Weinstein, once one of Hollywood\u2019s most powerful producers, the courtroom has now become a far more familiar setting than the red carpets where he once held considerable influence.<\/p>\n
And more than a decade after the alleged assault that led to his latest conviction, the legal consequences are still unfolding.<\/p>\n
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.<\/p>\n
