Episode Details

Original tape date: November 7, 2017. First aired: December 4, 2017.

The allegations of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and other offenses against women seem to be coming from everywhere. The abuses occur on campuses, in corporate boardrooms, in newsrooms, on movie locations, in the home. Some of the figures caught up in these scandals are world famous, others are not well-known at all. Just how widespread are these terrible events, and what do we need to do about them? Bob asks his guests, Dorchen Leidholdt, director of Battered Women’s Legal Services at Sanctuary for Families, and Sonia Ossorio, the president of the National Organization for Women in New York City.
