Weinstein, 70, is already serving a 23-year prison sentence after being convicted of sexual misconduct in New York. Elizabeth Fegan, Siebel Newsom's attorney, said in a statement: "My client, Jane Doe 4, shared her story not with an expectation to testify but to support all the survivors who bravely came forward."
During five weeks of testimony in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusers including documentary filmmaker Siebel Newsom said Weinstein lured them to what they believed were business meetings.
