Harvey Weinstein, 74, is set to be sentenced again for sexual assault after a lengthy legal process that included an overturned conviction and two retrials. The first sentencing in March 2020 occurred during the early stages of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Weinstein faces up to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, also known as Mimi Haleyi, at his Manhattan apartment in 2006. He has already spent more than six years in the criminal justice system as his case cycled through trials. Haley is planning to speak at Weinstein's sentencing, according to her lawyer, Gloria Allred. Weinstein will also address the court, as stated by his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer. Originally sentenced to 23 years in prison after a jury convicted him of assaulting Haley and raping Jessica Mann in 2013, the New York Court of Appeals erased those guilty verdicts in 2024, ruling that Weinstein was prejudiced by testimony from other women not involved in the case. In a second trial, Weinstein was again convicted of first-degree criminal sex act for assaulting Haley. The jury acquitted him of forcibly performing oral sex on Kaja Sokola and could not reach a verdict on a rape charge involving Mann. After a retrial ended in a hung jury in May, Manhattan prosecutors dropped the rape charge rather than pursue a fourth trial after Mann said she could not bear to testify again. That decision cleared the way for Weinstein's sentencing. Manhattan prosecutors have said they will ask for 20 years in prison, which would keep him behind bars until at least his late 80s. Weinstein's lawyers have not stated what sentence they will seek. He denies raping or sexually assaulting anyone. Once he is sentenced, he can appeal. Weinstein told The Hollywood Reporter in a jailhouse interview in March that he will be proven innocent. Weinstein is also awaiting resentencing in a separate rape case in Los Angeles. A California appeals court upheld the 2022 conviction but threw out his original 16-year sentence because the judge had considered his New York convictions that were later thrown out as an aggravating factor. After moving between state prison, where he tested positive for COVID-19 early in the pandemic, and New York City's Rikers Island complex, the ailing Weinstein is now housed at a medical unit for jail inmates at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. His health issues include chronic myeloid leukemia, diabetes, and walking difficulties that necessitate a wheelchair to get in and out of court, his lawyers said. Two years ago, he underwent emergency surgery to remove fluid on his heart and lungs. Haley, 49, is a former entertainment producer now working in advertising. Born in Finland and raised in Sweden, she met Weinstein through a mutual connection and worked briefly as a production assistant on a reality competition show he produced, "Project Runway." She accepted an invitation to visit Weinstein's Manhattan apartment because it would have been odd to decline since she was scheduled to fly to Los Angeles the next day on his company's dime to attend a film premiere. After she and Weinstein briefly chatted on his living room sofa, he lunged to kiss her, she testified. She said she leaped up and rebuffed him, but he grabbed her, forcibly backed her into a bedroom, and sexually assaulted her, ignoring her pleas to stop. She recalled Weinstein asking, "Don't you think we're much closer now?" after either the alleged assault or a subsequent occasion when she says she had unwanted, but not forced, sex with him. She also recalled telling him after the second encounter, "You know you can't keep doing this."
