Quote:
Disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault.
Weinstein was found guilty in a trial in New York last month, finalising a dramatic fall from grace for one of Hollywood's most powerful figures.
The 67-year-old appeared in court on Wednesday in a wheelchair.
Weinstein's lawyers had appealed for leniency, insisting that even the minimum sentence of five years could be a "life sentence" for him.
But prosecutors argued Weinstein should be given the maximum possible sentence given his "lifetime of abuse" towards women and "lack of remorse" for his actions.

I should imagine he will probably die in prison.
