Dougjn: "What you describe is utterly outrageous, unfair, and unsupportable." Part of your response indicates you are a practicing attorney; given that, your amazement as reflected in the above statement is strange. You should know as well as anyone in business that sexual harassment situations are viewed through the eyes of the offended, not the offender. The vast majority of situations never make it into the press - most companies quietly, internally take action to preclude management's exposure to litigation by an "offended" party. If handled correctly, the "offended" person agrees not to pursue action against the company and the "offender" is faced with movement to another position, or, depending on policy, is given the option to resign gracefully or face exposure and firing. Given that you're an attorney and an "active" investor, haven't you seen "moral turpitude" clauses in senior executive employment contracts? This is part of the uncomfortable dichotomy between the White House's position and the huge number of people who work in business where such behavior would be immediately addressed by the removal of the offending boss.
