In December, he was convicted by a Los Angeles jury of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by a foreign object of a European actress whose identity was not revealed.
LOS ANGELES - Disgraced movie industry tycoon Harvey Weinstein is due to be sentenced Thursday over the rape of a woman in a Beverly Hills hotel room a decade ago.
The court heard explicit accounts of meetings between the previously influential movie producer and several young women who were attempting to find a foothold in Hollywood. Weinstein was ultimately convicted in the Los Angeles case of assaulting one woman, but acquitted of sexual battery involving a second.
Defense court filings seen by AFP allege that Weinstein's lawyers were precluded from admitting important evidence about the rape victim - including Facebook messages with an alleged lover which the judge deemed irrelevant - and that their cross-examination was limited.Weinstein is appealing the Los Angeles verdict.
