MONTREAL — The lawyers for nine women who sued Just For Laughs founder Gilbert Rozon for sexual assault say the media mogul has agreed to pay the complainants $930,000.
The settlement comes after Quebec Superior Court Justice Chantal Tremblay ruled in late March that Rozen pay eight of the nine women a total of $880,000.
A statement from the women’s law firm, Trudel Johnston & Lespérance, says the comedy festival founder also agreed to waive his right to appeal.
Rozon’s lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment.
