Overview
- On Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2026, Judge Curtis Farber resentenced Harvey Weinstein to 15 years in prison after a 2025 retrial convicted him of a 2006 first‑degree criminal sexual act against Miriam Haley.
- Haley addressed the court with a victim impact statement that described lasting trauma and loss of safety while Manhattan prosecutors had asked for a 20‑year term.
- Weinstein’s 2020 New York convictions were overturned by the state’s highest court in 2024 because judges found testimony from other women had prejudiced the jury, a ruling that led to multiple retrials, split verdicts and mistrials.
- Weinstein remains in custody in a jail medical unit with reported serious health problems, told the judge he has remorse yet continued to deny assault allegations, and plans to appeal the resentencing.
- He also faces a pending California resentencing after a 2022 conviction was upheld but the original 16‑year sentence was vacated, and officials must still decide whether the New York and California terms will run concurrently or consecutively.
