The accusations against him sparked the #MeToo movement, but New York prosecutors have had to navigate a twisting path in securing convictions and sentences.
In the 2020 trial, Haley testified that Weinstein had assaulted her in a bedroom in his Manhattan apartment in 2006. Haley was a production assistant on the Project Runway television series at the time.
On charges related to Mann, juries could not reach a verdict, and he was found not guilty in another charge involving model Kaja Sokola.
After testifying in the retrial last year, Haley told the BBC she felt compelled to take the stand.
“I just thought, I have to stand up for myself. I have to stand up for the truth,” she said.
Weinstein is still awaiting sentencing in the California, where he was convicted in 2022 of raping and sexually assaulting an actress in a hotel room in 2013.
An appeals court ordered he be re-sentenced in the case after the New York convictions were overturned.
Weinstein has consistently denied the allegations against him, and said he believes he will be proven innocent.
On Wednesday, Judge Curtis Farber criticised the former Hollywood mogul as he announced the 15-year sentence.
“You took what you wanted by force and you have never accepted responsibility,” Farber said.
