Man in Power Accused of Sexual Misconduct

On December 32nd, 2017, a man in power was accused of sexual harassment by a woman. According to her account, the man had behaved inappropriately towards her during the period of time in which she worked for his company, Authority Inc. He has denied these allegations, claiming, "I would never conduct myself in such a way while I am working. My respect for not only my employees but women as well is impeccable." Since then, however, many other women have come forward, accusing him of sexual misconduct.

One of the man's business partners and co-founder of Authority Inc, William R. Korupt, defends the man, stating that, "He never puts anything in front of his work. He is a very hard worker, and would do anything for his company's success." When asked what the company does, Korrupt responded, "We handle a lot of money here. The amount of money that we are in possession of is quite large. We have a lot of power and influence. I don't understand why these women would accuse him of such immoral actions. As a matter of fact, he told me he was offering them promotions- what ungrateful employees."

An investigation done by the Wall Street Journal has found previously undisclosed allegations against the man, which were covered up by the man himself, paid off using the company's assets. When Corrupt was shown the report, he denied the legitimacy of the investigation and WSJ's credibility. The man in power remained in power, not only promoting Corrupt but also another employee, Ego Senterd. "There seems to be a stigma towards sexual misconduct by men in power. I think we all need to speak up and do something about it. We must look up to great men like Harvey Weinstein and Charlie Rose who are working to break this stigma for the betterment of society."
