Former Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Wednesday to 23 years in prison for sex crimes.
Last month, a New York jury found him guilty of raping an actress in a hotel room in 2013 and sexually assaulting a former production assistant at his home in 2006.
The 67-year-old Weinstein has been accused of sexual wrongdoing by more than 90 women, including Hollywood actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek and Uma Thurman.

Actress Louisette Geiss addresses the media at a news conference by the "Silence Breakers," a group of women who have spoken out about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct, at Los Angeles City Hall, Feb. 25, 2020, in Los Angeles.
Weinstein has said that any sexual activity was consensual, or agreed to by both people involved.
"Although this is a first conviction, this is not a first offense," Judge James Burke said before announcing the prison sentence. Weinstein faced up to 29 years in prison.
Before the sentencing was announced, Weinstein told the court he felt "remorse for the situation." But he also added that men are being accused of "things that none of us understood."
"I'm totally confused," Weinstein said. "I think men are confused about these issues."
Weinstein added that he remembered having "wonderful times" with his accusers.
His lawyers have promised to appeal the court's guilty finding.
Weinstein was once one of the most powerful people in Hollywood. He and his company produced Oscar-winning films such as "Shakespeare in Love" and "Pulp Fiction.
Accusations against him became public in October 2017. That month, stories published in The New York Times and The New Yorker magazine described Weinstein's mistreatment of women.
The stories helped give rise to the #metoo movement on social media, in which women and some men told their stories of sexual assault and harassment.
Weinstein's lawyers had sought a five-year sentence, the least severe punishment for his crimes, because of his age and poor health. Government lawyers had asked for a long sentence that would take into account the many accusations against Weinstein.
Weinstein is also facing charges of rape and sexual assault in Los Angeles, California. He faces up to 28 years in prison for those crimes. Police in California are also investigating three additional sexual assault cases that involve Weinstein.

参考译文
周三，前好莱坞电影制片人哈维·温斯坦因性犯罪被判处23年监禁。
上个月，纽约的一个陪审团裁定，他2013年在酒店房间强奸了一名女演员，2006年在家中对一名前制片助理实施了性侵犯。
现年67岁的温斯坦被控性侵90多名女性，其中包括好莱坞女演员格温妮丝·帕特洛、萨尔玛·海耶克和乌玛·瑟曼。
温斯坦说，任何性行为都是双方自愿的，或者双方当事人都同意的。
“虽然这是第一次定罪，但不是初犯，”法官詹姆斯伯克在宣布判刑前说。温斯坦面临最高29年的监禁。
在判决宣布之前，温斯坦告诉法庭，他“对这一情况很懊悔”。但他也补充说，男人们被“我们不理解的事情”指控。“我完全糊涂了，”温斯坦说。“我认为男性对这些问题都很困惑。”
温斯坦补充说，他记得与指控他的人度过了“美好的时光”。他的律师已承诺对法院的有罪判决提出上诉。
温斯坦曾是好莱坞最有权势的人物之一。他和他的公司制作了奥斯卡获奖影片，如《莎翁情史》和《黑色追缉令》。
2017年10月，人们对他的指控公之于众。当月，《纽约时报》和《纽约客》杂志发表的文章描述了温斯坦对女性的侵犯。
这些故事引发了社交媒体上的“我也是”(metoo)运动，女性和一些男性讲述了自己遭受性侵犯和骚扰的经历。
由于温斯坦的年龄和健康状况不佳，他的律师曾要求判处他5年监禁，这是对他罪行的最轻处罚。考虑到对温斯坦的多项指控，政府律师要求判处他较长的刑期。
温斯坦还在加州洛杉矶面临强奸和性侵犯的指控。因这些罪行他将面临28年的监禁。加州警方还在调查另外三起涉及温斯坦的性侵案件。
