Harvey Weinstein Sentenced to 23 years in Prison

Today was JUSTICE for the women who brought the lawsuit for Sexual Assault against Harvey Weinstein.  The Judge in the case handed down a sentence of 23 years to prison.  He will die in prison.  It took years for these women to come forward, altogether more than 80, but this represents just a few who actually testified and filed the lawsuit.  They are to be congratulated as the various reporters who brought the case to the public and thus the courtroom.  Megan Twohey of the New York Times, Ronan Farrow of the New York Magazine just to name two.

It goes to prove never give up and your voice will be heard in print.  If these various women who started the  #Metoo  movement had not and were brave enough to put themselves on the line and their careers, he could still be sexually assaulting women thinking he could do anything he wanted to do to a woman and not pay the consequences.  What a difference a few years can make.  He was at one time one of the most powerful men in Hollywood...today he is a convicted criminal with a prison cell as his home for the next 23 years.  And he still has a trial in Los Angeles later this year, but nothing can top the 23 years he got today
