He might have a strong argument that with his last name he had no choice but to do it, worth a try.

If it’s one woman coming forward it could be a bad date or a false accusation. But if two or more ladies come forth with similar stories, there’s a high likelihood he has done wrong. That’s the difference between Paul Bliss and Patrick brown.[/QUOTE

And no two women have ever colluded on a story to set a guy up?

Both women in the Ghomeshi trial lied.

The higher the profile, the higher the number of lying accusers one can expect. Sheer numbers alone doesn't automatically mean guilt. If you've dealt with 1000 women and 5 have some personal beef with you and think they can ruin you or squeeze money out of you, jumping on the train of false accusations might just be the way to do it.

True, they lied, but who will touch Ghomeshi or wants to be associated with him? He was acquitted in court but in the court of public opinion he may not have been exonerated and is still a pariah to some.

This shit is getting out of control. She didn't want to out him but sure left enough details in the story to narrow it down, and then sang like a canary to HR.

And as for Paul Bliss.....I was actually watching the late evening broadcast when the Patrick Brown story broke and Bliss was in studio commenting. Zuraidah Alman asked him for his thoughts on Brown's future. He said bluntly "He's toast". Guess who else is toast.

Assuming the investigation supports the allegations, and the acts are inexcusable, goading his victim(s) isn’t the right word here, but I can see how it warranted the kind of response he got.

Such is life in #TimesUp

I feel this was similar to how Megan Ganz was triggered to tell her story when Dan Harmon tweeted support for victims in this movement.

I just don’t understand how nothing has to be proven and men are just being fired immediately?

He hasn’t been fired. He’s been suspended.

This is absolutely identical policy to almost any organization with a functional anti-harassment policy.

Depends on the company, but for any media type of company with lots of known people, the first response is to suspend or fire the guy because the company is self serving and wants to get rid of any bad publicity.

For me, I work at a normal company filled with 100s of no-name avg people. I've heard about sexual harassment claims, and nobody gets suspended or fired during the accusation. You are expected to keep working as normal best as possible and the people were told to not cross paths.

Turn out she BS'ed it and got fired herself.

One thing companies got to watch out is that some women are clever. If they know they are on the firing line due to bad performance or warnings, they will bring up shit like accusations or short term illness and whatever other tactics to prevent a company from firing them. Whatever excuse they can come up with to delay termination.

I've seen it many times. And always a female doing it. I've never seen or known a guy come up with weird excuses to try to deflect an upcoming and possible termination.

“Absolutely identical” is overselling it. But we will suspend for harassment if the situation warrants it, which is always case-by-case, and rare if it’s a first accusation.

We usually put victim and aggressor on administrative leave while investigating, which only takes a couple days usually. We also don’t normally have to make an announcement internally or externally when this happens, unless it’s upper-management.

Having a well-functioning anti-harassment policy including specialized training for all job classes and positions, in our experience so-far, has really improved our organization since implementation in the early 2000’s. It’s allowed us to attract and retain a much higher percentage of (highly-trained) women than most organizations in our industry. But, we only developed and implemented this policy after a well-known scandal at a sister-company.

I’d say just under 1/3 of HR investigations into harassment focus on men as victims, and almost none of those investigations in my memory have been related to allegations of sexual improprieties. I can think of a few, but they are defintiely the exception, rather than the rule.

Personally, the most difficult part of developing and implementing these policies is making the punishment for a false-allegation so severe, that it discourages victims who genuinely deserve recourse from coming forward, for fear of false-false allegation.

For us, getting all employees to trust and respect the investigative phase, ensures most employees are honest when claiming harassment. That’s a big reason why we send everyone home (victim and aggressor) during investigations.
