He would then invite them to his apartment and offer them alcohol and drugs. You know what happened next -- we saw the photos on his company cell phone. Sexual harassment definitely goes both ways.

All the text ("no one asked her for sex", "she never complained", "he...would never do something like that") accompanying the article referred to male to female harassment. This was especially curious considering that the titillating photo accompanying the article shows a female in a sexy pair of high heels stepping on a male's tie and "harassing him". You also have had articles in the past mentioning that male to male harassment claims have skyrocketed recently. This, in fact, was the only type of claim (one instance) we have had at our company. Most of your articles are spot on, but you missed the boat on this one.
