The cash will be shared among more than 30 actresses and former employees who have sued Weinstein for offences ranging from sexual harassment to rape.

Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has reached a $25 million settlement with dozens of his alleged sexual misconduct victims, one of the women's lawyers told AFP on Wednesday.

Weinstein will not have to admit wrongdoing or pay from his own pocket, celebrity news portal TMZ said, with the bill instead being met by insurers for his bankrupt former movie studio, The Weinstein Company. The once-powerful"Pulp Fiction" and"Sin City" producer, whose case sparked the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment, faces a criminal trial in January on charges of rape and forcibly performing oral sex on a woman.

"He is in pain. He's going to have surgery and he will be back in court on January 6," said attorney Donna Rotunno.
