Harvey Weinstein is scheduled to be sentenced in a Manhattan courtroom on September 23, 2026, after being convicted of first-degree criminal sex act for sexually assaulting former 'Project Runway' production assistant Miriam 'Mimi' Haley in 2006. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is recommending a 20-year prison sentence, citing the significant harm caused to Haley. Weinstein, 74, was previously convicted in June 2025, but his conviction was overturned by New York's highest court, leading to a new trial. In the 2025 trial, he was found guilty of raping Haley but not guilty of charges related to Kaja Sokola, another accuser. A mistrial was declared regarding allegations from actress Jessica Mann, and prosecutors decided not to pursue a fourth trial after Mann expressed her inability to endure the process again. Haley testified in two trials, detailing her experience of the assault. Weinstein is currently serving a 23-year sentence for a separate sexual assault conviction in California.
