Matt Lauer Sexual Assault Allegations

Matt Lauer is one of the latest in the string of men who have been accused of sexual misconduct. He was fired from NBC after a female colleague accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior during the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Lauer apologized in a statement but claimed that some of what was being said was not true or mischaracterized. After his firing, more sexual misconduct allegations were reported, with one of the accusers alleging that the host locked her in his office in 2001 and then sexually assaulted her.
