Harvey Weinstein addressed his accusers at his sentencing hearing on Wednesday, telling a crowded New York courtroom: “We may have different truths, but I have great remorse for all of you.”
In a gravelly, almost inaudible voice, Weinstein reflected on the trajectory of American culture in the two years since he was first accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women and said he was the first example of “thousands of men” who have now been accused. “I’m worried about this country,” he said, saying he thinks there is a lack of “due process.”
A New York jury found Weinstein guilty of third-degree rape and a first-degree criminal sexual act in February, ending a months-long criminal trial in Manhattan that focused on the testimonies of six women who accused him of sexual assault.
