Heading to the next jail with a pillow and bubbly? Not quite. Still, the sex offender got to enjoy a flight that certainly reminded him of his old age…
Long after his crash, Harvey Weinstein (71) takes off again very high. In February, the Los Angeles sex offender was sentenced to 16 years in prison for his crimes. Again, because the ex-film producer was found guilty in New York in 2020.
Weinstein was previously imprisoned there, for his second rape trial he had to travel to Los Angeles. After the second verdict, that meant: back to the east coast. But not without taking a bit of luxury with you.
The US Portal „TMZ“ reports that Weinstein flew back home in a passenger plane—first class!
In 2021, Weinstein was flown to the hearing in Los Angeles by private jet
Officially, Weinstein was “extradited” from California to New York, despite the conviction by the California state, the criminal is said to remain in New York for the time being. All in all, Weinstein’s sentence now totals 39 years.
The Los Angeles Attorney’s Office: “Weinstein was returned to New York in the manner that we customarily use under our extradition treaty with New York.”
So using it as usual means first class with maximum legroom? Ordinary mortals almost never enjoy such a sinfully expensive flight.
As is customary in the United States, Weinstein traveled with one or more investigators, but doctors are also said to have accompanied him. Already in 2021 he was loud “ Page Six“Flyed to the hearing in a private jet, mainly for health reasons. In his case, that had been the easiest way to transport him back then. However, it is not known why he flew first class this time. However, the former Hollywood mogul remains in poor health, which could have accounted for the expensive flight.

Weinstein continued to plead innocent in Los Angeles, but was ultimately found guilty by the jury of three counts of sex crimes, including rape. It was about allegations by four women in the period from 2004 to 2013. Most of the attacks are said to have taken place in hotels in Beverly Hills.
TMZ has been informed by the New York City Department of Corrections that the convicted rapist is now being held in a new prison. Previously held at Wende Correctional in western New York, Weinstein is now moving to Mohawk Correctional Facility in central New York.
Whether here or there, whether first class or not: Weinstein will probably never see freedom again.
