It is reported by ABC7.
According to Weinstein’s defense, lawyers intend to appeal the man’s guilty plea after he recovers.
On February 24, a jury trial in New York found Weinstein guilty of rape and sexual harassment - two out of five counts. At the same time, the producer managed to avoid life sentence.
According to the Manhattan Attorney, the defendant faces 5 to 25 years in prison.
In October 2017, the New York Times published investigative data, from which it followed that Weinstein had behaved inappropriately for decades, in particular with regard to actresses whom he promised to help with a career in Hollywood. In May 2018, he was arrested.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Weinstein offered $ 44 million to women and creditors accusing him of sexual harassment.
