I actively discouraged her, reminding her she was a married woman with children. To no avail.

This went on for several years.
If some sleaze was doing this to my womenfolk.......

See if she was running for public office right now you could cash in!

I know this is not in every case, but this article sure proves that the lure of the almighty dollar is behind a lot of these accusations of men bothering women or I should out and out say the word molestation, right?

Legal powerhouse Lisa Bloom tried to line up big paydays for women who were willing to accuse President Trump of sexual misconduct during the final months of last year’s election, according to an explosive report.

The Hill reported Friday that Bloom worked with campaign donors and tabloid media outlets to arrange compensation for the alleged victims and a commission for herself, offering to sell their stories. In one case, Bloom reportedly arranged for a donor to pay off one Trump accuser’s mortgage and attempted to score a six-figure payment for another woman. The former ultimately declined to come forward after being offered $750,000, the clients told The Hill.

While society ties itself in knots over who put their hand on whose bloody knee, this kind of thing goes on...

Not all that uncommon here but most are never disclosed.

The almighty dollar also works if you're a predator and you've got an awful lot of those 'almighties':

...and, it seems, The National Enquirer has provided its 'services' to another person with a lot of 'almighties':

There is an old saying: "Wealth is the best deodorant"; when something stinks this much, I doubt even all the wealth in the world can cover the stench...

Recap article on NBC news and a warning to feminists

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...ash-ncna820896

For feminists, this is a watershed moment. All around us, once-mighty men are being swept up — and sometimes swept out of their jobs — in sexual harassment and assault allegations.

At first, it was a slow drip — Bill Cosby, Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly saw their careers capsized by women who alleged years of bad behavior. Then came The New York Times and the New Yorker’s reporting on media mogul Harvey Weinstein’s alleged acts of sexual assault and harassment, and the levy was breached.

Now, the flood of women’s voices grows more powerful every day as more allegations against powerful men go public across industries and continents, from the British Parliament (36 members have now been accused of impropriety) to the United States Senate (Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore stands accused of molesting teenage girls). In the U.S. media, NBC’s Mark Halperin, New Republic publisher Hamilton Fish and former literary editor Leon Wieseltier are all under scrutiny; back in Hollywood, so are Kevin Spacey, James Toback and Louis C.K. This has, in turn, given rise to wave of rapid responses across industries and continents: There are investigations in Parliament, and Moore is being pushed to step aside. Male media luminaries and Hollywood golden boys have lost their jobs. (Moore, Toback and Fish deny the allegations; Halperin, Wieseltier, Spacey and Louis C.K. have offered apologies for their behavior.)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts said on Sunday he would launch a review in 2018 of how the federal judiciary handles sexual harassment, following the recent resignation of a U.S. appeals court judge amid allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct and comments.
