The settlement does not exempt Weinstein from the criminal proceedings brought against him for sexual assault, for which he will go on trial in September.

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has reached a provisional $44 million settlement with alleged victims and creditors, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

Weinstein - a catalyst for the #MeToo anti-harassment movement - has been charged over the alleged assaults of two women and faces life in prison if he is convicted at the trial, which could last five weeks.
