Harvey Weinstein is serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York City
Harvey Weinstein was flown in first class from Los Angeles to New York City this week after his latest rape conviction.
The convicted rapist flew on a commercial airline on Wednesday, seated in a first class cabin with investigators and medical personnel as he was being shift to a new prison in NYC.
The disgraced film producer’s trip and flight expenses were paid by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, according to TMZ.
Weinstein has been re-assigned to the Mohawk Correctional
Facility in Oneida County, NY to continue serving his sentence, according to
the state’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
“[Weinstein]
was returned to New York via a method we typically use pursuant to our
extradition agreement with New York,” a spokesman for the LA County DA told
the media outlet.
Weinstein, who is already serving a 23-year
prison sentence in New York, was sentenced in LA in February to an
additional 16 years in prison on charges of rape and sexual assault.
The
movie mogul, 70, was found guilty of rape and two other counts of sexual
assault at a trial in LA in December after previously being sentenced in
2020 for sex crimes in NYC.
