Weinstein victims entitled to $26.5m settlement

NEW YORK • Women who suffered sexual misconduct and workplace harassment by convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein are set to receive almost US$19 million (S$26.5 million) as part of a class action lawsuit, New York's attorney-general Letitia James announced on Tuesday.

The payments, which need to be approved by two courts, are the result of a lawsuit brought against the ex-movie mogul – currently serving 23 years in prison – and his former film studio The Weinstein Company.

"Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company failed their female employees. After all the harassment, threats, discrimination and gender-based discrimination, these survivors are finally receiving some justice," Ms James said in a statement.

The lawsuit said Weinstein "demanded or forced female employees to engage in unwanted sexual contact as a quid pro quo for continued employment or career advancement".

A lawyer for several of his victims immediately slammed the proposed settlement, however. Mr Douglas Wigdor – whose clients include Ms Tarale Wulff, a former cocktail waitress who told Weinstein's high-profile trial that he raped her in his New York apartment in 2005 – described it as "a complete sell-out".

He said that under the agreement, Weinstein "accepts no responsibility for his actions" and that he does not have to pay any of his own money towards the settlement. Mr Wigdor said it would also prevent survivors who do not want to accept the settlement from pursuing other avenues of compensation and that he would object to the agreement in court.
