Disgraced Hollywood mega-producer Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison Wednesday morning, on one count of sexual assault in the first degree and one count of rape in the third degree — nearly the maximum sentenced possible for Weinstein’s crimes.

“Weinstein,” the Associated Press reported, “who has been accused of violating scores of women, was convicted last month of raping a woman in a New York City hotel room in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex on another woman at his apartment in 2006. He faced a maximum of 29 years in prison.”
