The 70-year-old former producer is serving a 23-year sentence for sexual assault in a case sentenced in 2020 in New York.
In California, another case placed the former producer at the possibility of adding 18 years in prison, which could leave him behind bars for life.
Weinstein was found guilty on December 19 in a Los Angeles court of forcible rape, forced oral copulation and sexual penetration with an object. The identity of the victim was preserved in court.
For a month, the twelve jurors heard testimony from women who accused the movie mogul of tricking them into cornering them in hotel rooms.
The women, including the now first lady of California Jennifer Siebel-Newsom, detailed sexual encounters that would have taken place against their will and under physical or psychological coercion.
The prosecution characterized him as a predator who used his influence to pressure and abuse women with impunity, also taking advantage of their physical size to intimidate them.
The defense disputed that Weinstein’s relationships were consensual and focused on the idea that all the encounters were transactional, with women seeking an opportunity in the competitive film industry, which he reigned supreme for many years.
