...the whole point is that he abused his position of power in that industry to do the things he did - so taking his 'career' into account should result in a longer sentence shouldn't it?

Also and maybe I misheard this weeks back, but I thought as well (and this isn't excusing Weinstein, just not quite understanding the logic of legal system) that the prosecution used 'other' witnesses who said that Weinstein had assaulted them.

Sadly, you are probably very correct.
