Harvey Weinstein is about to sentenced to at least five years in prison.

Weinstein will receive his prison sentence on Wednesday after a jury convicted him last month in his New York rape trial. The disgraced movie producer was found guilty of sexually assaulting Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping Jessica Mann in 2013, though he was acquitted on the more serious charges of predatory sexual assault.
