You could be right...
Afterall, in Bill O'Reilly's sexual harassment case (although there was no actual sex there), O'Reilly kept his job.
Quote:
On October 13, 2004, O'Reilly filed a preemptive lawsuit against Factor producer Andrea Mackris, her lawyer Benedict P. Morelli, and Morelli's law firm for extortion, contending Mackris had privately threatened to charge O'Reilly with sexual harassment unless he paid her more than $60 million (USD).
Later that same day, Mackris filed a complaint of sexual harassment against O'Reilly, contending that he had made sexually explicit phone calls, including a "vile and degrading monologue about sex."
O'Reilly denied engaging in any physical or sexual assault or "offensive touching." He also alleged that Mackris' motives were financial and political in nature. Both lawsuits were dropped after Fox News and O'Reilly agreed to pay Mackris an undisclosed settlement amount, which, according to the Washington Post, was likely millions of dollars.
