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

Weinstein was found guilty in a trial in New York last month, finalising a dramatic fall from grace for one of Hollywood's most powerful figures.

Prosecutors argued Weinstein should be given the maximum possible sentence given his "lifetime of abuse" towards women and "lack of remorse" for his actions.

Dozens of women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct, including rape, against Weinstein since October 2017.

A senior Scottish government official has told the Alex Salmond trial that he had given her "very sloppy" kisses on the mouth and touched her bottom.

The woman, known as Woman A, said she had been employed by the SNP at the time, and had regularly worked with Mr Salmond.

The witness said Mr Salmond would "often come to greet me in a very familiar way - giving the impression he was going to give me a kiss on the cheek and normally end up kissing me on the lips".

She said she did not encourage this and did not want it to happen, and had felt "quite disgusted and embarrassed and kind of quite humiliated by it".

The woman also said the "very sloppy and kind of unpleasant" kisses did not happen if other people were there, so she sometimes tried to take people with her to meet Mr Salmond.

Earlier on Wednesday, another complainer denied ever having had a consensual sexual encounter with Alex Salmond.

Mr Salmond denies sexually assaulting the former Scottish government official, known as Woman H, in May 2014 and attempting to rape her a month later.

Giving evidence for a third day, Women H said she had "never been a willing participant of Alex Salmond's advances towards me".

Woman H had previously told the court that Mr Salmond "pounced on her" after a dinner at the first minister's official Bute House residence in June 2014.

She alleged that he pulled her clothes off, pushed her onto a bed and then lay naked on top of her despite her protests.

Three minutes for grab-assing.

An SNP party worker has told the High Court in Edinburgh that she had been working with Mr Salmond in Bute House when she left the room to go to the toilet.

When she returned, she claimed to have "utterly froze" after finding Mr Salmond "lying on the ground, between the dining table and the back of the sofa."

She alleged that Mr Salmond had a pen and paper next to him, and told her to "come here and work on this speech".

Woman J said she lay on the ground some distance from Mr Salmond because she did not want to anger him.

The witness alleged that they were both working on the speech when "out of the blue" he asked: "Have you seen that zombie movie?"

She claimed that Mr Salmond told her to stand up before he "stretched his arms out straight towards me and did an impression of a zombie walking towards me".

She added: "He put his arms on my shoulders and leaned in to kiss me on one cheek and then proceeded to move me out of the way to kiss my other cheek.

"Then he leaned in to kiss me on the lips."

There are women who watered the tree of career advancement with sexual harrassment water

Many women should have reported the behavior earlier and refused to work with Weinstein to prevent further abuse

Instead, many continued to visit Weinstein after being abused to receive further benefits

We are all well aware you think if women get raped then it's other women's fault. The question of this thread, though, is which famous rapist should be the next to be punished?

Really starting to have to hold my nose around you.
