After a lengthy and highly publicised legal battle, disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has reached a deal with dozens of his alleged victims.
After a two year legal fight, Weinstein, 67, has agreed to a tentative $US25 million settlement with more than 30 actresses and former Weinstein employees, who in lawsuits have accused him of an array of offences from sexual harassment to rape.
He is still scheduled to go to trial in New York in early January on charges of sexual assault involving two women, claims he vehemently denies. It came after Weinstein’s bail was increased from $1 million to $5 million on Wednesday, local time, over allegations he violated bail conditions by mishandling his electronic ankle monitor.Weinstein arrived at court in the morning using a walker, and his lawyer said he will be undergoing back surgery on Thursday. In his last court appearance, he hobbled into court and looked more pained than usual.
“As it was made clear in court today, Mr Weinstein is looking forward to January 6,” Weinstein’s lawyer, Donna Rotunno said.
