Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein begged “please don’t sentence me to life in prison, I don’t deserve it” as he was jailed for another 16 years for rape and sexual assault.
Weinstein pleaded to the judge for leniency at the court in Los Angeles this evening.
He said: “This is a made up story. Jane Doe 1 is an actress. She can turn the tears on.
“Please don’t sentence me to life in prison. I don’t deserve it. There are so many things wrong with this case.
“There are too many loopholes. Too many things wrong with this case.
“This is a set-up. This is not the way to act in this situation.”
He finally added: “I beg your mercy.”
A lawyer for one of the victims said afterwards Weinstein will now spend the rest of his life in prison “where he belongs”.

I personally think “another 16 years” communicates life in prison at his age. Psychologists should make a research on *fame and sexually exploitation* seems some people take themselves for gods when they have wealth and fame and think they can do anything to anyone at anytime.
