Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault.

The disgraced movie producer broke his courtroom silence during Wednesday's hearing - sounding unrepentant.

Speaking from a wheelchair behind the defence table, Weinstein said he was "totally confused", adding "I feel remorse for all of the men who are going through this fight".

The 67-year-old also told the court in New York that he had fond memories of his accusers, and that men facing allegations as a result of the #MeToo movement were accused of "things that none of us understood".
