Rozon had been sued for a total of nearly $14 million in civil court for incidents that occurred between 1980 and 2004, during a period when he founded the international comedy festival.
He had denied the allegations and said that the women had formed a coalition against him with the aim of getting rich.
Rozon stepped down from Just for Laughs in 2017 and later sold the company.
The women who had sued Rozon are scheduled to speak with reporters later today.
