Harvey Weinstein will remain behind bars until he is 90.
The 67-year-old was sentenced in a Manhattan courtroom overnight to 23 years in prison for the sexual assault of former production assistant Mimi Haleyi, and rape of former aspiring actor Jessica Mann.
In a rambling statement, the former movie producer told the court: “I feel remorse for all of the men who are going through this fight”.
He added that he was “confused” and that he believed he had great times with “these people,” aka, the women who have accused him of misconduct of which there have been more than 100.

The once powerful Hollywood mogul is back in his cell on Rikers Island now, a place which he is apparently “miserable” in, according to Page Six.
He’s been there since February 24 when he was found guilty, and has only experienced a mere taste of the two decades to come.
As the news sinks in, the world is starting to react.

Excellent job: I was a little worried that the jury didn't find him guilty beyond reasonable doubt of all of the charges he was up on, but I'm glad that the judge has used their common sense in this sentencing.
Typical that the only remorse he showed in court was for the 'poor men' who are struggling because of the #metoo movement. Just shows that men like him never change. I think that something went very wrong in their relationships with their mothers, to make them think about women that way.
