Undisclosed: Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein will pay $ 25 million following dozens of rape, assault and sexual harassment complaints filed against him under a plea agreement, the New York Times reported Wednesday. According to the agreement, Weinstein will pay millions of dollars, but not to his victims - but to an insurance company that will compensate them, and will not plead guilty.

Catherine Kendall, one of the prosecutors against Weinstein, referred to the agreement and said that she was not satisfied with the terms of the agreement, but accepted the views of her companies who sought to reach the agreement and put this chapter behind them. "I don't like this, but I don't know how to chase him anymore," she said. "I don't know what else I can do," she added.

"I don't know if a better deal could have been reached," said Ginny Harrison, Sandip Rahal's attorney - one of the complaints against Weinstein. "We did everything possible under the circumstances, and it is important that the other complainants know this, so that they too can access and receive the compensation they deserve."

Remember, more than 30 actresses and women who worked under it have accused Weinstein of many sex offenses, from harassment to rape. The wave of exposures against the Hollywood producer began in 2017, but the allegations include decades-old cases.

More on:

• New lawsuit: "Harvey Weinstein sexually assaultes 16-year-old"

• Weinstein to court: "I did not try, I did not attack"

• Harvey Weinstein is charged with rape and indecent acts

• Weinstein surrendered himself to the New York Police Department

According to the complainants, Weinstein - who produced blockbuster films such as cheap literature, smoking, the Englishman, shouted and many other films and considered one of the strongest people in Hollywood - used to invite actresses to his room, where he sexually assaulted them. In addition, he was charged with using his power in the industry to silence potential complainants.

Exposing Weinstein's actions was one of the major generators of the MeToo movement. It should be noted that in addition to this proceeding, he is still facing criminal charges against sexual assault against two women.
