Sexual harassment: There will be payback time

Remember his portrayal of Clarence Darrow in “Mercy for Leopold and Loeb”? Pure class.  There seems to be some affinity between film producers, actors and sexual offences. I could cite several local examples, but I choose not to. I simply seek to warn that in time, victims do come out to seek closure and such closure may entail public exposure.

For the likes of Kevin Spacey, hitherto secure in their untainted legacies, the revelations must have come as a rude awakening. It is quite easy to do stuff that hurts others, and then to move on under the assumption that time will bury it all six feet under in one ancient pile. It is equally easy, when you are a man, to think that a sexual indiscretion can be fixed with an apology and failing an apology, a denial.
