Eight women have told The Washington Post that longtime television host Charlie Rose made unwanted sexual advances toward them, including lewd phone calls, walking around naked in their presence, or groping their breasts, buttocks or genital areas.
The women were employees or aspired to work for Rose at the Charlie Rose show from the late 1990s to as recently as 2011. They ranged in age from 21 to 37 at the time of the alleged encounters. Rose, 75, whose show airs on PBS, also co-hosts CBS This Morning and is a contributing correspondent for 60 Minutes.
There are striking commonalities in the accounts of the women, each of whom described their interactions with Rose in multiple interviews with The Post. For all of the women, reporters interviewed friends, colleagues or family members who said the women had confided in them about aspects of the incidents. Three of the eight spoke on the record.

He knows that there is nothing in America that can hold him to account for this behavior - not the Media, for sure. And he can use his money to evade justice in the courts as well. It's what he learned from Roy Cohn. Never admit guilt, deny, attack, hit back.
He is a crass Authoritarian, and we have 1 chance to stop him: 2020. If that fails, we'd better hope he feels generous in 2024.
