Eli Rosenberg and Amy Brittain, The Washington Post Published 7:50 pm PST, Tuesday, December 11, 2018 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.

Mother who was violently separated from toddler during arrest freed from jail
NEW YORK — A mother jailed after police violently pulled her toddler son from her arms in an encounter caught on video in the crowded waiting room of a New York City social services office was released Tuesday night. A judge had ordered her release earlier in the day after Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said he was dropping all charges against Jazmine Headley, 23, "in the interest of justice." "I'm just so grateful to everyone and I'm just happy to be free and I just need to see my boy," Jazmine Headley said following her release from the Rikers Island jail facility. Headley, who was being held on a warrant in an unrelated credit card fraud case in New Jersey, is due to appear in court Wednesday in that matter. In dropping the Brooklyn charges, Gonzalez said he was "horrified by the violence depicted in the video," which showed officers yanking Headley's 18-month-old son from her arms. He said the situation should have been handled differently. "The consequences … [Read more...] about Mother who was violently separated from toddler during arrest freed from jail

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. The lawsuit accused Rose of "blatant and repeated sexual harassment" and CBS News of "unlawful retaliation" and failing to investigate complaints related to Rose. "The matter has been resolved," said a CBS News spokesperson, adding that the settlement amount is being kept confidential at the plaintiffs' request. In May, the day before the lawsuit was filed, The Washington Post published a report in which 27 women, including the three women who sued, accused Rose of sexual harassment.
