No doubt there's a lot of loose ends out there. I'm sure anxious offenders feel as if social rules have changed. Maybe seeing themselves as offenders for the first time. Zero tolerance needed to happen long before now. Feel badly for all victims of abuse and anyone who may fall victim to being falsely accused. And this is going to happen as well.

@Pearlee, Thanks for the info, I am in awe, I guess it is the quiet ones you have to watch out for!

Not sure if QVC will allow this post to last as it might be deemed political but so far it is here and I feel like answering it.  I haver zero tolerance for abuse of any kind.I have four daughters.  I do feel however that if one is sexually harassed  they should report it immediately  NOW and not 30 years down the road.  The reporting has become epidemic and I think it has hurt the cause. And in my case  because of my lifestyle I get hugged almost every evening... it is a common practice among square dancers.. it is called Yellow Rock and it makes you feel welcome and appreciated.  I think some of this ME TO has gone too far.   It is join the crowd... and ultimately those who need help will be  ignored.

@bonnielu, if you haven't already, I strongly suggest that you read the link that @Pearlee provided. There is more than enough to support his being let go.

And no one will ever accuse square dancers for merely hugging one another. You know that.

@bonnielu I square danced for 10 years and it didn't take long to figure who is there for the right or wrong reason. The way we did the yellow rock was a side hug so anything other than that wasn't appropriate. If a person chose not to YR extend your hand.

I never seen him alot on the air, but when he was, I just always thought his demeanor and voice was just perfect for the reporting he was doing.  Very low key, but effective.

It's a shame.

As info, Court documents released in May 2013 revealed the DOJ was secretely monitoring Washington journalist James Rosen, searching his personal emails, cell phone records, and his movements in and out of the State Department, even though he had not been charged with any crimes.

Please don't let this thread get political, or it will be deleted.  I'm just interested in the harassment angle, nothing else or we risk being zapped.

sad, if true.  James Rosen is a top investigative reporter, an amazing wordsmith,doodler, and author.  i note that not one of his alleged accusers actually responded and verified veracity.  but one assumes something was going on.  he has been silent on Twitter. i hope he straightens things out - however - and lands on his feet.  as a reporter, he played it right down the middle (just the facts, ma'am) - and that's darned rare.
