Shamed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has reached a tentative $25million civil settlement with dozens of his alleged sexual misconduct victims – however the former mogul would not have to admit any wrongdoing or pay his accusers out of his own pocket.
Following a two year legal fight, the proposed civil settlement has obtained preliminary approval from all the major parties involved, the New York Times reported.
The claimants – which include more than 30 actresses and former Weinstein employees that have accused him of numerous sexual offenses including rape – would share the payout, along with any other accusers that should come forward in the months ahead.
As a result, the settlement would essentially bring an end to every civil suit filed against the 67-year-old and his former company, pending a court approval and final sign off by all parties.

All about the $$$$ HUH WOMEN ?
Just goes to show you that if you have the money you can buy your way out of a criminal case, no matter how egregious, for the 'right price!!
Agree; how does money fix damaged psyche? How does suing a religious group mend broken spirits and mental anguish. It has been said money is the “root” of all evil. Does bankrupting an individual or institution change a sexual predator?
This is not the criminal trial it is the civil trial. Big difference, remember OJ?
There was no broken spirits or mental anguish, just an excuse to make lawyers exceptionally wealthy
LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
Drop in the bucket for him financially. Yes, just like OJ case - they will never see the money.
Forget the money - castrate is in my mind.
