CBS News has settled a lawsuit filed by three women who accused Charlie Rose of sexually harassing them and accused the network of being “fully aware” of his behavior.

A statement from CBS spokeswoman Christa Robinson said, “The matter has been resolved.”

The settlement amount is confidential, at the plaintiffs’ request, Robinson said.

The portion of the lawsuit that names Rose is still active, Ken Goldberg, a lawyer for the women, said in a statement Tuesday night.

The lawsuit was filed in New York state court in May by Brooks Harris and Chelsea Wei, who worked with Rose at “CBS This Morning,” and Sydney McNeal, who had worked as one of his assistants at PBS.

It alleged that Rose had made physical contact with the women, including “caressing and touching their arms, shoulders, waist and back, pulling them close to his body and kissing them on the cheek.”

According to the claim, Rose required Harris to have lunch and dinner with him, where he would place his hands on her thigh and would point at other women and call them prostitutes.
