Harvey Weinstein, the onetime Hollywood titan who came to epitomize a culture of pervasive sexual misconduct by powerful men that ignited the #MeToo movement, was sentenced on to 16 years in prison for the 2013 rape of an actress in Los Angeles.

The sentence, imposed as a consecutive penalty to the 23-year prison term Weinstein who already is serving for a sexual misconduct conviction in New York, makes it all the more likely that the Oscar-winning ex-producer will spend the rest of his life incarcerated.
