Harvey Weinstein Reaches Tentative $25 Million Settlement with Accusers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein and the board of his
now-bankrupt company have reached a tentative $25 million settlement
with dozens of women who have accused him of rape, sexual assault and
sexual harassment. The deal would not require Weinstein to admit any
wrongdoing, nor would Weinstein have to pay any of his own money to the
dozens of actresses and female employees who have accused him of serial
rape and sexual harassment. Weinstein is also facing criminal sexual
assault charges in New York and is scheduled to attend court in early
January.
