Letterman is an ego-maniacal, hypocritical sleazebag. Of course he's not the only one on the planet. Still he is a public figure/big cheese and that makes him fair game for an open hunting season with regard to this issue.
He is (I assume) in hot water with his network and he should be. He has real power over people there. There certainly was carrier pressure on any woman who wanted to say to no to him. At a minimum--a refuser might not get the same raise and professional opportunities as those who said yes. I have tried several sexual harassment suits, and these are very real issues--both legally and in the lives of those connected with the actions/events.
