Met police just announced they have received a separate complaint.

My issue with your hypothesis is my experience working in the media industry especially back around the 2000s. Even if the behaviour wasn't "illegal" (or wouldn't pass a threshold even now) it deserves to be exposed.. .. but to who ? There weren't functioning HR departments as we know them...
