Women who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, his former film studio's board members, and the New York attorney general's office have reportedly reached a tentative $44 million deal to resolve lawsuits and compensate alleged victims of the Hollywood producer.
Women who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, his former film studio's board members, and the New York attorney general's office have reached a tentative $44 million deal to resolve lawsuits and compensate alleged victims of the Hollywood producer, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people it said were familiar with the matter.
The Journal said the proposed agreement would not affect a criminal case pending against Weinstein in Manhattan, in which he has been charged with rape and other sex crimes. A trial in that case has been scheduled for September. Weinstein, who won plaudits and awards through his company and another studio, Miramax, for movies including"Shakespeare in Love,""Pulp Fiction" and"The King's Speech, fell from grace after more than 70 women, mostly young actresses and others in the movie business, accused him of sexual misconduct dating back decades.
That's a humongous payout for the acquiescence encumbered by career considerations in otherwise wilful transactions between consent ing adults.
Money must not be allowed to buy freedom for this idiot. He ruined many lives. He must do jail time. He must!
