Hollywood star James Franco and his lawyers have reached an agreement with the women who sued him for sexual harassment.
It writes CBS News.
A joint statement to the Los Angeles Superior Court states that the parties have reached a settlement in a class action lawsuit filed against the Oscar-nominated actor by students at his now defunct “film school.”

James Franco sued on serious charges
It was originally two female actors who filed a civil lawsuit against Franco. The two he accused of having exploited them and other young women to try for – and be part of the recording of partly rough sex scenes. This must have happened under the auspices of the “film school” and under the guise that it would be career-promoting for the young women.
CBS writes that the parties have been discussing the possibilities for a settlement for several months and that the legal process has been put on hold in the meantime.
