NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault.

It’s a sight the Hollywood mogul’s multitude of accusers thought they would never see.

Weinstein 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.

Both women that Weinstein was convicted of assaulting spoke in court Wednesday before Judge James Burke announced the sentence.

Weinstein will also spoke Wednesday after he chose not to testify during the trial.

He said he was confused by the rape case, telling the court that men facing allegations in the #MeToo movement are being accused of “things that none of us understood.”

One of his lawyers called him a “broken-down man.”

The New York case was the first criminal matter to arise from accusations of more than 90 women. A second criminal case is pending in California.
