Charlie does not get a pass here, he doesnt get a pass from anyone in this room, we are all deeply affected, we are all rocked by this. Reporter the veteran journalist fired from cbs news and pbs terminating their relationship with him amidst an avalanche of Sexual Misconduct allegations. The latest media giant to be disgraced in the era of metoo. Tonight three women who work with rose at cbs news now coming forward with more allegations. A third woman alleges rose whispered a sexual innuendo while touching her inappropriately at a workrelated event. Reporter all of this on the heels of the bombshell allegations yesterday. Eight women who worked or aspired to work for the pbs show bearing his name told the Washington Post rose made unwanted sexual advances toward them, several allege he groped them, one of his former employees tells the paper he was a sexual predator and i was his victim. Frequently his interactions would begin with a touch on the leg, then escalated to either noou nudity or groping in the back seats of cars. One woman who worked as an intern in the 1990s recalled him coming out of the shower naked. She confided in one person, the next day a male producer came up to her laughing and said, i heard you got the shower trick. Reporter rose, seen here last night, after the news broke. Do you want to say anything to those accusers . Its not wrongdoings. Reporter earlier rose responded on twitter writing, i deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved incensetively at times, and i accept responsibility for that. But then he also believe that all of these allegations are accurate.

Reporter former fox news anchor Gretchen Carlson sued her former boss, roger ailes, for Sexual Harassment in july 2016. I often get asked, why do people do this . Sexual harassment is about power. It can be about he could but it about sex but its often about making a person feel less powerful. Most of these women were working for him at a very early stage in their careers. For them i think there would be a tremendous risk to speaking out against his behavior. Reporter pyle godfrey ryan, one of roses assistants, told the Washington Post about at least a dozen instances where rose walked nude in front of her while she worked in one of his new york city homes. She says he would repeatedly call her late at night to describe his fantasies of her swimming naked. She says she told roses longtime pbs executive producer yvette vega, who alleged her told her, thats charlie being charlie. Roses executive producer told the Washington Post, i should have stood up for them, i failed, it is crushing, i deeply regret not helping them. We have to get past that in our society. Thats just locker room talk, right . We have to say, thank you so much for your courage in telling me that. We are going to take care of this right now. Its not only the women or the men who are victims finding the courage to come forward, its the enablers and the bystanders also finding that same courage to say, im not going to let this happen. Reporter all of the women who told their stories to the Washington Post either worked for or wanted to work for the charlie rose show which reportedly does not have a Human Resources department. If youre getting sexually harassed by charlie rose on the charlie rose show, there is no one else that you can complain to because everybody, so to speak, reports to charlie rose. Reporter that signature show propelled his rise to icon. Mr. President. Good to see you. Good to see you. Reporter interviewing everyone from president to celebrities to scientists.

All of the cases in the Sexual Harassment, a terrible thing, has probably not been exposed enough reporter it was Gretchen Carlson whose allegations first rocked fox news last year, and led to ailes ouster, a 20 million settlement. Legally shes unable to discuss the details about her allegations but says the public view of women like her is changing. The shame is finally being transferred. Not only to the harassers, and to the enablers, but to companies who have also turned a blind eye about this issue.

This is indeed a sea change of how we here in the United States view Sexual Harassment. Reporter in new york city, attorneys marjorie messadoer and sylvia stanshoe litigate Sexual Harassment cases. They say since the Harvey Weinstein scandal their phones are ringing off the hook with new potential cases every day. Our clients typically come in through the door and tell us their story and tell us that they want the harasser to be behind bars. We wish that we could put everyone thats done something wrong somehow behind bars. What we can do is try to get some kind of financial damages for our clients. Reporter it is a problem so rampant it requires change on many fronts. But for carlson, coming forward was perhaps one of the first steps in a long journey toward reckoning. It was an excruciating choice for me to be that singular person 16 months ago. Toughest decision of my life. But i did it for other women and men, and i did it for my children and for your children and anyone elses children whos watching. Because do we want our children to face the same indignities that so many women and men have faced . The answer is no. Reporter for nightline, im linsey davis in new york.

We put a different face on this. And thats where this clubs value is. Reporter they held conventions, advised politicians, staged socalled meet in the middle events. Educate and trade. The liberal gun club says it has 7,500 members nationwide. They agree with their more rightwing brothers and sisters in arms on some points. The government says, were going to change this, so everybody has to give up their guns. Whats is going to be next . Reporter there are twists. Especially under this administration, i dont want to give up any of my constitutional rights. I have an issue in trust issues in general with law enforcement. Now youre telling me that what little slim chance of protection i have is now gone, and its given to people that i dont trust at all, how is that fair . Reporter they claim membership is up 70 since President Trump was elected. So 7,500 members, the nra has a reported 5 million. But according to liberal gun club, the nra does not speak for all. Only a reported 19 of gun owners in america are actually nra members. And theres this. According to pew, of republicans and rightleaning independents, 44 own guns. Among democrats or leftleaning independents, its just 20 . But its not zero. I think a lot more people have guns that are liberal here than we know about.
