Women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct will be compensated from a $17 million fund after a judge approved a plan to liquidate his former film studio

Women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct will be compensated from a $17 million fund after a Delaware bankruptcy judge approved a plan to liquidate his former film studio.

The women are expected on average to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars or more under the deal to liquidate Weinstein Co., whichafter numerous allegations of sexual abuse and harassment against Mr. Weinstein became public. Judge Mary Walrath of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., approved the settlement on Monday during a court hearing held via videoconference, saying the deal provides Mr. Weinstein’s victims with a fair and private process for obtaining compensation without having to endure years of public and uncertain legal proceedings.

Evidence presented during the chapter 11 case showed Mr. Weinstein abused women over several years, Judge Walrath said, adding that though the deal may provide closure for victims, compensation alone can’t provide complete recompense for harm they have suffered.

UROCKlive1 That is nothing.

make him sell dogma!

Damn. I wish he fucked me without asking.

Same should happen for the Epstein victims. That 'Bill Clinton in a Blue Dress ' painting should fetch tons of money, not to mention all the other stuff he owned.

Keep him in prison.

All of the 'victims' were rape? None were actually trading sex for a job?

way to go Harvey you are a big fat joke now. some legacy

UROCKlive1 that's great for the women. I don't want to hear this guy's name until he's absolutely dead, thank you v. much.

$17 million for 'sexual misconduct'.

what women?

Hey girlfriend! Talk to a certified financial planner. He/she will steer yo toward a very successful plan for retirement.

I'm sure this slimeball has plenty more squirreled away in overseas banks.

Trump will probably next in line.

The money will never make up for the nightmares and devastation these women have endured.

Cha Ching!

Sounds like a start.

TheTweetOfJohn Seems like it should be more, but as long as they keep him in jail I won't complain.

Weinstein must have other assets that can be liquidated. Criminals who preyed on their victim's, and those who enabled or sheltered the criminal, must not be given shelter.

That’s peanuts. This mofo must have squirreled away most of his assets in secret overseas accounts.

I’m glad the women are getting compensated. But Weinstein is such a filthy perv they needed to create a superfund to clean it up. Yes folks, Harvey Weinstein’s crotch is now officially a super fund site.
