That's the good news. He still has the criminal trial coming. Just today, the judge raised his bail.

Harvey Weinstein shuffled into Manhattan court Wednesday hunched over a walker — before a judge hiked his bail from $1 million cash to a $2 million bond.

Assistant DA Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said Weinstein’s ankle monitor had been untraceable at least 56 times, in violation of the conditions of his release.

The new bail legislation signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year bars defendants from paying for their own ankle monitors, and a judge can only order the device if it’s administered by the government or a nonprofit.

As a result, Weinstein’s ankle monitor can no longer be mandated by the court. However, the $2 million bond was arranged by celebrity bondsman Ira Judelson, who is requiring that Weinstein continue to wear the device.

Weinstein’s trial is slated to begin Jan. 6, and he faces up to life in prison. He’s charged with two counts of predatory sexual assault in connection with the alleged rape of “The Sopranos” actress Annabella Sciorra, 59, sometime between late 1993 and early 1994.

Though I am seeing that his 'civil settlement' was actually $47 million and not 25. And his 'company' and insurance company will pay it, not him. Disgusting.
Yes it is typical for the bondsman to only require 10% of the bail amount.

The husband and I were chuckling at Weinstein’s poor acting job with the walker. Each of us has required the use of a walker at various times, so we both know that one does not throw the walker way out in front the way he did. It’s a wonder he did not wind up on his ugly face.
Definitely had the walker for pity points. The lawyer who told him to use it as a prop should have taught him how to look credible with it.
