Anyone who has worked knows that sexual harassment has gone on for years, usually between a male boss and a female underling.  Propositions, sexual comments, unwanted physical contact, etc etc.  Women did not report it because they feared for their jobs and/or they thought it was just part of life to be treated this way.  I am a male but I had one boss from France who went after every good looking woman who crossed his path and was well known for this behavior.  HR spent a lot of time cleaning up his mess.
