Hollywood star Kevin Spacey has made an apology after being accused of making a sexual advance toward a child actor.
Anthony Rapp, who was 14, said Spacey invited him to a party and seemed drunk when the alleged incident happened.
Spacey, who was 26, said: "I honestly do not remember the encounter... but if I did behave then as he describes I owe him the sincerest apology."

This is just the beginning of sexual harassment.

I don't remember it, but if I did describe Reece as the son of a kangaroo then of course I owe him the sincerest apology. It was a wombat.

Spacey is in trouble now for coming out as gay at the same time as admitting this business:

I am waiting for the time when a man accuses a woman of sexual harassment and to see what the reaction is.

She regularly rubbed my chest at the Rugby Club dance. I just guess I didn't know who to complain to

NBC had another reason to drop Matt Lauer from the morning show ... $20,000,000 a year salary.

He lost his $20m position as anchor on the flagship morning show, his squeaky clean reputation, and now - perhaps - his farm.

Lauer could be forced to sell the 27,180-acre-sheep-and-cattle farm he and his wife purchased in New Zealand in February because of the country's strict laws on foreign investors having good character.

Michael Sitrick couldn’t comment on Harvey Weinstein.

Until a few weeks earlier, Mr. Sitrick’s crisis management firm, Sitrick and Company, had been managing Mr. Weinstein’s unprecedented crisis.

Mr. Sitrick had dropped Mr. Weinstein, but he couldn’t say why. He couldn’t confirm if it was because Mr. Weinstein had stopped paying his bills, though he could confirm it was true that Mr. Weinstein had stopped paying his bills, and that the two parties were in arbitration.

A difficult situation, but dumping him was a simple decision, "You can not put your company's interests ahead of the client's interests."

A US judge who was widely criticised for his leniency towards a campus rapist has been removed from office by voters.

Judge Aaron Persky handed Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner a six-month sentence in June 2016.

But county judges in California are elected, and if a petition to remove them from office garners enough signatures a vote will be held.

This sexual harassment is like a long no ending story. Unfortunately.
