Sometimes people think that they have become more than mere mortals and everyone else must adore them and submit to them; Bill O'Reilly might be one of those people. I usually only watched him on FOX News briefly when I clicked through the channels and only if the guest was interesting; O'Reilly was a bit loud and often talked over his guests. Often people with the same character flaws as O'Reilly gather together in similar occupations where their self importance can cause trouble:
California Senate plans outside investigation on harassment
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The California Senate announced Monday that it has hired a law firm to investigate sexual harassment allegations as pressure builds for lawmakers to deal more aggressively with what hundreds of women working in and around the Capitol describe as a culture of sexual intimidation.
No male lawmakers have been accused by name of sexual harassment or assault. But female lobbyists, lawmakers and legislative staffers have offered accounts online and to reporters about men making inappropriate comments, touching them and asking them to perform sex acts.
The Senate has not publicly disclosed how many women officially reported harassment in recent years or how many people were disciplined. The Assembly, meanwhile, has investigated 11 complaints in five years but will not disclose any discipline that followed, said Debra Gravert, chief administrative officer.
In one case, the Assembly paid $100,000 to settle harassment, discrimination and retaliation claims made in 2014 against then-Assemblyman Steve Fox, who an aide said exposed himself and then fired her when she reported his behavior, according to documents from courts and the Legislature.

I have also seen where the charge of sexual harassment had been used to bring down a manager at a former place of employment because workplace love often turns into workplace hate with retribution. I also know that the definition of sexual harassment is broad and complex, so I don't immediately prejudge anyone when I hear that they sexually harassed someone.
