Another one surfaces....

Charlie Rose, host of the "Charlie Rose" show and a "60 Minutes" correspondent, was accused by multiple former employees of sexual harassment in a report released Monday afternoon. The Washington Post reported that eight women told reporters that Rose made unwanted advances toward them, including groping them and exposing himself.

Three of the eight spoke on the record about their experiences, which happened on a small staff working on the "Charlie Rose" show, which airs on PBS but is produced by Rose's own company.

In a statement to the Post, Rose acknowledged the accusations and apologized, while saying he does not believe all of the women's stories. "It is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior," Rose said. "I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken."
