WASHINGTON—Sen. Al Franken said Thursday he would resign in the face of sexual misconduct allegations, underscoring how deeply the Capitol is being shaken by the national reassessment of how men treat women and raising anxiety about which lawmakers could be next to go.
Mr. Franken made his announcement in a speech from the Senate floor that put the Minnesota lawmaker face to face with Democratic colleagues who a day earlier had praised his work and friendship but called on him to step aside nonetheless.

Weinstein's Impact: List of men accused of sexual misconduct

The Associated Press

UPDATED November 24, 2017 11:23 AM

NEW YORK

Since The New York Times published allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein in October, multiple men in entertainment, media and politics in the U.S. and beyond have faced allegations ranging from inappropriate behavior to forced sexual misconduct to rape.
To be sure, prominent men have faced sexual misconduct claims before. But the accusations against Weinstein have opened a floodgate, sparked an international conversation and put new pressure on companies, industries, and political leaders to respond. President Donald Trump has condemned some of the accused, been more muted about others, and found himself again being asked about sexual harassment and misconduct allegations leveled against him during last year's presidential campaign. The Republican says they're fake.
The #Metoo moment is also prompting re-examination of past sexual misconduct claims against powerful men, including Democratic former President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. He was impeached and then acquitted of perjury and obstruction of lawmakers' investigation into his sexual encounters with a White House intern, and he settled a sexual harassment lawsuit stemming from his time as Arkansas governor.

‘House of Cards’ Employees Accuse Kevin Spacey of Sexual Assault and Harassment

Since Anthony Rapp came forward Sunday, multiple people have accused Spacey of either sexual misconduct, harassment, or attempted rape

by Miles Surrey Nov 2, 2017, 4:19pm EDT

A former production assistant on House of Cards told CNN that Kevin Spacey had sexually assaulted him “during one of the show’s early seasons.” According to the assistant, Spacey put his hands down the production assistant’s pants while driving to the show’s set. The alleged advance was unwanted, and the assistant had previously reported Spacey for sexual harassment. “I have no doubt that this type of predatory behavior was routine for him and that my experience was one of many and that Kevin had few if any qualms about exploiting his status and position,” he told CNN. “It was a toxic environment for young men who had to interact with him at all in the crew, cast, background actors.”

CNN spoke to multiple other current and former crew members who reiterated this description. “All the crew members commented on his behavior,” one former camera assistant told CNN. “What gets me is we have to sign sexual harassment paperwork before the start of the show and apparently [Kevin Spacey] doesn’t have to do anything and he gets away scott-free with this behavior.”

In a statement, House of Cards producer Media Rights Capital said that it has opened an anonymous complaint hotline to investigate any further misconduct. Netflix also released a statement:

Netflix was just made aware of one incident, five years ago, that we were informed was resolved swiftly. On Tuesday, in collaboration with MRC, we suspended production, knowing that Kevin Spacey wasn’t scheduled to work until Wednesday. Netflix is not aware of any other incidents involving Kevin Spacey on-set. We continue to collaborate with MRC and other production partners to maintain a safe and respectful working environment. We will continue to work with MRC during this hiatus time to evaluate our path forward as it relates to the production, and have nothing further to share at this time.

Since Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of sexual misconduct in an interview with BuzzFeed News on Sunday, several others have come forward with allegations involving Spacey. On Thursday, Vulture published an anonymous interview with a man who alleges that he and Spacey had a sexual relationship in 1986, when he was 14 and Spacey was 24. In the interview, the man says that the relationship ended when he was 15 years old, after Spacey attempted to rape him in his New York apartment. “I always have said, ‘He tried to rape me,’” he told Vulture. “I told him I didn’t want that, he went again to do it, I told him no, he went again and pushed harder and grabbed me and pushed harder. I don’t know how I would see that as anything besides an attempted rape, which I was able to thwart.”

Also on Thursday, a former employee of the Old Vic theater in London, where Spacey was an artistic director for 11 years until 2015, told The Guardian that the theater’s management and employees consistently ignored Spacey’s behavior during his tenure. “We were all involved in keeping it quiet,” the former employee said. “I witnessed him groping men many times in all sorts of different situations.” Earlier in the week, actor Roberto Cavazos relayed a similar story relating to the Old Vic. Posting on Facebook, he wrote that he recalled Spacey “squeezing whoever caught his attention” at the Old Vic’s bar, and that he had a “couple of unpleasant encounters with Spacey that were on the edge of being called harassment.”

Additionally, two other men have spoken up with their own allegations of Spacey’s harassment. Director Tony Montana told Radar on Tuesday that Spacey groped him at a Los Angeles bar in 2003. Another man—who asked not to be identified—told the BBC on Wednesday that when he was a teen in the 1980s, he woke up to Spacey lying on top of him. Spacey had invited the then-teenager to stay at his apartment in New York over the weekend, but when Spacey asked if they could share the bed, he declined and instead slept on the sofa. When he woke up, Spacey’s arms were around him. “I was uncomfortable at best, traumatized at worst,” he said.

Spacey addressed Rapp’s allegations in a statement on Twitter on Sunday night, saying that he does not remember the encounter but apologized for “deeply inappropriate drunken behavior.”

Sen. Kennedy on sexual misconduct: 'They're all pigs'

By Tal Kopan, CNN

Updated 6:54 PM ET, Mon November 27, 2017

(CNN)Sen. John Kennedy didn't mince words Monday about any colleagues accused of sexual misconduct: "They're all pigs."

The Louisiana Republican was speaking with reporters in the Capitol as senators returned from Thanksgiving break.

Kennedy stopped short of saying that Senate candidate Roy Moore of Alabama -- who has been accused of pursuing relationships with teenagers when he was in his 30s, as well as assault -- should be expelled from the Senate if he wins. But Kennedy said an ethics investigation would be appropriate, as it is in the case of Democratic Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota, who has been accused of groping women.

If the accusations prove true, then "there is no excuse for this," Kennedy said. "None. Zero. Nada. You pretty it up all you want to, it's still a pig."

There may be differences in the allegations, he added, but none of this behavior should be tolerated.

"There are gradations of pigs," Kennedy said. "There are major-league pigs; there are minor-league pigs. There are amateur pigs. There are first-time pigs. There are experienced pigs. But they're all pigs."

But he said he wouldn't "prejudge" any investigation.

"I'm going to wait to see the facts," Kennedy said. "There is going to be an ethics investigation of Senator Franken. If Mr. Moore is elected, there's going to be an investigation there. And I don't know any of these people involved, and I'm going to wait and see what the investigation determines those facts to be."

There Are 44 NFL Players Who Have Been Accused of Sexual or Physical Assault

In the past few years, multiple news stories involving NFL players accused of sexual assault or domestic violence have received widespread attention. As isolated incidents, such allegations are deeply disturbing.

Broadly Staff

Dec 8 2015, 9:00am

*rapey
adjective | \ˈrāp-ē\
: having or showing sexually aggressive behavior that causes the discomfort of others
: exhibiting or indicative of a lack of concern or understanding of consent of another in regard to intimate contact: having or showing qualities that make others feel sexually vulnerable or unsafe class

When we celebrate these men as athletes and role models while overlooking their alleged histories, we contribute to a culture in which violent misogyny is normalized. To combat that, we are focusing on their alleged histories. As such, we have listed the sexual assault or sexual misconduct allegations against NFL players in our Rapey* Roster, and the domestic violence and violence against women allegations in our Domestic Violence/Violence Against Women Depth Chart.

According to the NFL's own Personal Conduct Policy, "it is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. We are all held to a higher standard and must conduct ourselves in a way that is responsible, promotes the values of the NFL, and is lawful." Therefore, in Broadly's NFL Report, we've included incidents prior to players being drafted into the league, cases in which charges have been dropped, and those concerning a broader range of troubling behaviors toward women, in order to provide readers with all of the information necessary to decide if the NFL is living up to its own, self-imposed higher standards of conduct.
