LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore has apologized to the family of a former television executive who accused former CBS chief Leslie Moonves of sexual misconduct.
The chief's apology came after disclosures that a former LAPD captain in 2017 shared information about Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb's allegations with CBS executives, including Moonves.
The LAPD was rattled last fall amid accusations that the former commander, Cory Palka, provided special treatment to Moonves when he was in charge of the LAPD's Hollywood division. Palka allegedly worked to cover up Golden-Gottlieb's sexual assault report in 2017 and 2018, according to a November report from New York Attorney General Letitia James.
