*By Michael Teich* Charlie Rose sexually harassed dozens of women over three decades despite three separate complaints to CBS managers, according to [a Washington Post investigation](https://www.washingtonpost.com/charlie-roses-misconduct-was-widespread-at-cbs-and-three-managers-were-warned-investigation-finds/2018/05/02/80613d24-3228-11e8-94fa-32d48460b955_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.88c7b03dc107). "For someone to have this many allegations against him it raises the question of who knew what about his behavior and when they knew it," said Amy Brittain, a Washington Post reporter who last year revealed disturbing allegations against Rose . The first complaint against the longtime CBS newsman was in 1986, Brittain said, and the most recent complaint was made in 2017, months before Rose was fired by the network and his show on PBS was canceled. CBS said it did not receive any official human resources complaints about Rose, but Brittain's reporting found that several women told managers at the network that Rose behaved inappropriately toward them. Brittain said since [her initial article about Rose](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/eight-women-say-charlie-rose-sexually-harassed-them--with-nudity-groping-and-lewd-calls/2017/11/20/9b168de8-caec-11e7-8321-481fd63f174d_story.html?utm_term=.cf1bcc86010f) last November, CBS has adopted new practices to address workplace issues. The network implemented mandatory in-person sexual-harassment awareness training for employees, and created a Workplace Council made up of 12 employees designed to improve company culture. As many as 35 women have accused Rose of groping them, making lewd comments, and walking around naked in their presence. The accusations go back 42 years, according to The Post's reporting. The newly reported accusations include 14 women who were CBS News employees and 13 who worked with Rose elsewhere. The revelations follow accusations by eight women for sexual misconduct at his PBS program.
