Many of the recent stories about sexual abuse claims against disgraced Hollywood mogul
Harvey Weinstein, former Fox 'News' hack
O’Reilly and
other powerful actors, journalists and executives mention settlements either they or their employers made to silence women who accused them of misconduct.
These settlements often require alleged victims to sign a
nondisclosure agreement – essentially a pledge of secrecy – in exchange
for a cash payment. They are designed to keep the reputations of
allegedly abusive high-flyers intact, an arrangement that can allow
repeated wrongdoing.
