After Weinstein: 40 Men Accused of Sexual
Misconduct and Their Fall From Power
By SARAH ALMUKHTAR, MICHAEL GOLD and LARRY BUCHANAN UPDATED DEC. 8, 2017
In early October, Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood producer, was fired from his namesake company after multiple women came forward to accuse him of rape and sexual assault.
In what appears to be a seismic shift in what behavior is tolerated in the workplace, a cascade of high-profile men, many in the entertainment and news media industries, have since been fired or forced to resign after accusations of sexual misconduct that ranged from inappropriate comments to rape. This page will be updated periodically.
40 Firings and Resignations
The men in the list below have been fired, resigned or experienced similar professional fallout.

And remember
Myths about false accusation
Myths: “Lots of women cry rape when they regret sex.”
“Women accuse celebrities and athletes of rape all the time for money and attention.”
“The definition of ‘rape’ is so loose these days – women can claim anything is rape and get away with it.”
“They didn’t have enough evidence to prosecute, so she was probably lying.”
“If she was really raped she would have called the police.”
Only about 2% of all rape and related sex charges are determined to be false, the same percentage as for other felonies (FBI). So while they do happen, and they are very problematic when they do, people claim that allegations are false far more frequently than they are and far more frequently than for other crimes. Put another way, we are much more likely to disbelieve a woman if she says she was raped than if she says she was robbed, but for no good reason.
On a related note, only about 40% of rapes are ever reported to the police, and this is partly because victims know that if their claim becomes public, their every behavior will be scrutinized, they will be shamed for their sexual history, and they will be labeled as lunatic, psychotic, paranoid, and manipulative. Just because someone does not report their crime does not mean it did not happen. Furthermore, only one in two claims lead to prosecution, so if the DA decides not to prosecute, that says nothing about whether or not it happened.

Some better news
Sexual Violence has Fallen by More than Half Since 1993
* The rate of sexual assault and rape has fallen 63% since 1993, from a
rate of 4.3 assaults per 1,000 people in 1993, to 1.6 per 1000 in 2015.

Still this is a terrible stat
Rape and Sexual Assault in the U.S.
There is an epidemic of sexual assault in our country. The CDC estimates that more than 1 million women are raped in the U.S. each year. Though one
in five women will be raped in her lifetime, only 3% of perpetrators will ever serve time in prison. NOW-NYC’s Take Rape Seriously campaign works
in partnership with survivors to rise up against a culture of rape and push for real reforms to improve the criminal justice system’s response to rape.
Out two major campaigns are currently to fight drug-facilitated sexual assault and save the Violence Against Women Act

Yes Peg, You are so right. It's an epidemic. I've been following it for a time now. Jezebel's website tracks them and it's sad.
