On Thursday, the disgraced movie producer was sentenced in Los Angeles to 16 years in prison for raping Chernyshova, who had remained anonymous through the legal proceedings.

19, and Chernyshova recalled learning the verdict while in her car with her 16-year-old daughter and 23-year-old son. “I had to ask my daughter if I understood the English correctly,” she said. “She’s like, ‘Why are you crying, mom?

It’s good.’” Chernyshova, who was born in Russia, had testified that Weinstein had raped her in his hotel room in 2013. The trial in Los Angeles involved charges based on the accusations of four women, though Chernyshova’s case was the only one that resulted in a conviction.
