He was found guilty in a trial in New York last month, a dramatic fall from grace for one of Hollywood's most powerful figures.
The 67-year-old appeared in court on Wednesday in a wheelchair.
His lawyers had appealed for leniency, saying even the minimum sentence of five years could be a "life sentence".
But prosecutors argued Weinstein should be given the maximum possible sentence given his "lifetime of abuse" towards women and "lack of remorse" for his actions.
