CBS boss Moonves faces new sexual assault accusations from six more women

Embattled CBS Corp. chief executive Leslie Moonves is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct, amid news reports that he will soon step down following previous accusations.

In a report Sunday in the New Yorker, six women alleged incidents of sexual harassment and assault between the 1980s and early 2000s that included forced oral sex, exposing himself without consent and the use of physical violence and intimidation to silence them, Ronan Farrow reported. The article followed a similar New Yorker report from July featuring six other women.

Multiple news organizations reported Sunday that Moonves, who had been negotiating terms for his departure, will step down imminently.
