A captain in the Los Angeles Police Department tipped off former CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves after a woman filed a confidential criminal sexual assault complaint against him, and then helped him cover up the allegation, according to a report from New York Attorney General Letitia James, released Wednesday.
Why it matters: Part of a multimillion settlement agreement with Moonves and the network, the report offers a clear picture of the culture of corruption a truly powerful leader can foster — when the police, industry strivers and corporate board rooms work to protect them.
