John Travolta's attorney is currently in settlement talks with one of the men who has accused the actor of sexually groping him, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
As we previously reported, a total of seven men have come forward accusing the married star of various unwanted sexual advances. Two of those men filed lawsuits against Travolta, which were subsequently dismissed when they fired their former attorney, Okorie Okorocha, and hired famed civil rights attorney Gloria Allred.
"John Travolta's lawyer is currently in settlement talks with one of the accusers. The goal is to have a settlement reached very quietly and quickly because John just wants this scandal to go away," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. "No money has been paid yet, but it's almost a done deal. It will be an out of court settlement and John Travolta's name won't even be in the agreement to ensure complete confidentiality, along with a clause that states if the man ever goes public with his story, he will be sued for at least twice the amount of the settlement."

Travolta's team has vehemently denied all of the allegations to date.
Three of the seven men accusing the Pulp Fiction star of sexual misconduct are masseurs. The accuser who’s currently in talks with Travolta's lawyer alleges that the actor groped him in the last two years, which is within the statue of limitations to file a civil lawsuit.
"If the accuser who is in talks with John's lawyer right now is unable to reach a settlement, he is absolutely prepared to file a lawsuit against him," the source says. "The man isn't intimidated by John's celebrity status and just wants the actor to be held accountable for his actions."
