Charlie Rose, one of America's most respected broadcasters, an award-winning television host and interviewer, was suspended on Monday after eight women accused him of years of sexual harassment and unwanted advances.

A bombshell Washington Post report said the women were employees or aspired to work on the Charlie Rose show and were in their 20s and 30s when the alleged harassment took place from the 1990s to as recently as 2011.

They complained that the unwanted advances included lewd phone calls, groping and walking naked in front of them. Three of them spoke on the record. The Post said five of the women accused Rose of putting his hand on their legs. -
