ABC/FLORIAN SCHNEIDERSo it's settled then.
Desmond and Penny are television's best couple. The sexual harassment suit against Lost star Henry Ian Cusick is finished.
The 42-year-old Scottish actor was accused of groping Chelsea Stone, a former production employee, and making suggestive sounds and gestures in her direction on the Lost set back in 2007.
She complained and, 12 days later, she was fired, according to the lawsuit filed in April against the star, ABC and production company Grass Skirt Entertainment.
Stone was seeking unspecified damages to cover hostile work environment harassment, failure to remedy and prevent harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination in violation of public policy, intentional infliction of emotional distress and sexual battery.
Her lawyer says she has reached a confidential settlement with Cusick and the other involved parties, according to TMZ.com. No comment from Team Lost.
