The 70-year-old is already serving 23 years in jail after he was convicted of rape and sexual assault in New York.
He is facing decades more in prison after Monday’s conviction.
During the two-month trial, the court heard how Weinstein used his influence to lure women into private meetings before assaulting them.
Weinstein was found guilty of rape and two sexual assault charges involving an accuser known as Jane Doe 1, to protect her anonymity.
The jury was unable to reach verdicts in allegations by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, and the accusations of another woman.
A mistrial was declared on those counts.
The court at the Los Angeles trial heard from dozens of witnesses in more than four weeks of often emotional testimony.
But Monday’s verdict focused on allegations by four women stemming from 2005-13.
The jury of eight men and four women spent nine days deliberating on three charges of rape and four other sexual assault counts.
Two of the four main accusers remain anonymous. Two others identified themselves publicly.
