Three women who sued CBS News and former "CBS This Morning" anchor Charlie Rose have resolved their claims against the company, according to a filing made in a Manhattan court late Friday. Legal proceedings against Rose are ongoing. The lawsuit was filed May 4 by three women who were hired either by CBS News or for Rose's PBS show when they were in their early 20s.
