Sexual extortion of employees by management has always been a problem in the workplace. Ever heard of "The Casting Couch"?

Lately it has become much rarer, due to public attitudes and the legal environment changing, but it used to be rampant. And it is difficult to prove, besides being very risky for the victim. Even in cases when it was brought to the attention of upper management, there was strong incentive to fire the victim and keep the perpetrator because the latter was generally a more "valuable" employee.

And it is not just a problem peculiar to business--remember the Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts, and the Penn State Football program?
