The accord would end nearly all civil lawsuits by actresses and former Weinstein employees who accused him of offenses

ranging from sexual harassment to rape, the newspaper said.

Representatives for Harvey Weinstein declined to comment. Mr Weinstein has been accused of sexual misconduct dating back decades by more than 70 women.According to the Times, accusers involved in the tentative accord would make their claims in bankruptcy court, and the $25 million payout would be part of a $47 million settlement to close out the studio's obligations.

A trial is scheduled for 6 January 2020, and Mr Weinstein could face life in prison if convicted on the top counts. Mr Weinstein, 67, used a walker to enter the courthouse for a bail hearing on Wednesday, and is scheduled to have back surgery on Thursday. The accusations that surfaced against him in October 2017 helped spark the #MeToo movement, where hundreds of women have accused powerful men in entertainment, business, media, politics and other fields of sexual misconduct.
