The panel previously rejected a proposed settlement of $11,250 for Moonves because commissioners wanted a tougher penalty. The $15,000 fine approved Wednesday was the maximum allowed.
Former CBS President Leslie Moonves will pay $15,000 to settle a Los Angeles city ethics complaint over his role in an alleged cover-up of sexual assault accusations against him. The city's Ethics Commission unanimously approved the settlement Wednesday after previously rejecting a proposal for $11,250 in fines as too low.
City Ethics Commission investigators, in their own case against Moonves, accused the CBS chief of three violations of the city’s Government Ethics Ordinance. Moonves aided and abetted the disclosure and misuse of confidential city information and induced Palka to misuse his city position, the investigators said. The $15,000 fine approved Wednesday was the maximum allowed, with each count carrying a maximum penalty of $5,000.
