#HIMTOO? CBS to pay $30.5M for hiding sexual assault claims against Les Moonves.

The settlement agreement follows an investigation conducted by James’ office that found Moonves and CBS attempted to conceal several sexual assault complaints made against the chief executive knowing that if they came to light he would lose his job, which would affect the company’s bottomline knowing that he’d be difficult to replace.

Moonves resigned from CBS in Sept. 9, 2018, after several women accused him of sexual assault and harassment over three decades.

According to a 37-page report by Jame’s office, prior to him stepping down, Moonves and CBS worked to conceal the allegations against him staring Nov. 10, 2017, when an unidentified women walked into the Hollywood Division of the Los Angeles Police Department to file a report accusing Moonves of sexually abusing her and workplace retaliation in the 1980s.

It’s a good thing that nobody has ever accused Hollywood of being a sex-grooming gang, or anything.
