Harvey Weinstein sits in a wheelchair during his sentencing in Manhattan, New York, March 11 in this courtroom sketch. "I feel remorse for all of the men who are going through this fight," Weinstein, 67, told the court before he was sentenced, sounding unrepentant.
"I'm totally confused," said Weinstein, addressing the court from a wheelchair behind the defense table.
Weinstein said he was worried about the "thousands of men who are losing due process" during the #MeToo movement just as people in the past had their careers destroyed when they were accused of being communists. "I think that's what's happening now all over this country," he said. REUTERS/Jane Rosenberg

Mimi Haleyi, former production assistant, arrives to testify against Harvey Weinstein at the Criminal Court January 27. Haleyi cried as she testified that she accepted an invitation to Weinstein's Manhattan home in 2006. Haleyi said Weinstein lunged at her, backed her into a bedroom and forcibly performed oral sex on her, yanking out her tampon. Under questioning from Weinstein's attorneys, Haleyi acknowledged that she accepted trips to Los Angeles and London from Weinstein after the attack, in part because she needed work, and signed messages to him with "lots of love."
