Sexual harassment claims against WXYZ Malcom Maddox......

Yep, it is coming off the spools a bit. As a woman I fully stand against sexual harassment and abuse on the job, etc. But the fallout from this is going to hurt women down the road career-wise in some settings.

Some employers potential or actual are going to avoid ANY scenario, even a mentoring setting, where one can be remotely accused rightly or wrongly, and thus have your rep and career damaged.

You sometimes don't know why your not hired, and hiring may change for deference of same sex groupings, especially in private setting. The church I attend the pastor never meets with a woman alone, to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

I'm a female and here's my take. There should be a statute of limitations for coming out and proclaiming or declaring that somebody did something sexual against you. 10-20-30-40 years is too damn long for one's memory to all of a sudden appear and make accusations against men. Not saying these men aren't pervy, but it's ridiculous.

No idea what this means. You have an obvious predator here and the station mishandled the situation pretty badly. Putting up with this crap for as long as she did shows the resolve Ms Edwards had to work through a really bad situation. And it wasn't "10-20-20-40 years," it was five years. Five years too long in any job IMO.
