Longtime TV host Charlie Rose has been accused of making non-consensual sexual advances towards eight women.
According to The Washington Post, the women, who were employees or aspired to work for Rose at the "Charlie Rose" show from the late 1990s to as recently as 2011, ranged in age from 21 to 37 at the time they were sexually harassed by the "CBS This Morning" co-host. They alleged that the TV host made lewd phone calls, walked around naked in their presence as well as groped their breasts, buttocks or genital areas.
Five of the eight women went anonymous out of fear of Rose's stature in the industry. Meanwhile, the other three women are Rose's former assistant Kyle Godfrey-Ryan, former "Charlie Rose" show coordinator Megan Creydt and former intern Reah Bravo.
Bravo claimed that Rose made sexual advances on her at his private estate in Bellport, New York, in a hotel suite as well as when they traveled in cars and by private plane. "He was a sexual predator, and I was his victim," she said.
Godfrey-Ryan said there were a dozen instances in which the host walked nude in front of her, adding that Rose allegedly called her and described his sexual fantasies. Meanwhile, Creydt alleged that Rose "put his hand on my mid thigh" while he drove his car through Manhattan with her sitting in the passenger seat. "I tensed up. I didn't move his hand off, but I pulled my legs to the other side of the car," Creydt opened up.
