Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Thursday to 16 more years in prison for the rape of a woman in a Beverly Hills hotel room, increasing the likelihood that the disgraced Hollywood mogul will spend the remainder of his life behind bars.
Weinstein was ordered by a Los Angeles court to serve the latest sentence — for the assault of a European actress a decade ago — after he has completed his 23-year sentence for another s*x crimes conviction in New York.
