CBS Chief Resigns After New Sex Abuse Accusations

哥伦比亚广播公司首席执行官在爆出新的性侵指控后辞职

The leader of the American television broadcast network, CBS, has resigned after more women accused him of sexual abuse.

美国哥伦比亚广播公司领导人在更多女性指控他性侵之后辞职。

CBS announced the resignation of Leslie Moonves Sunday night. The company said its chief operating officer, Joseph Ianniello, will serve in the position until a permanent replacement is named.

哥伦比亚广播公司周日晚间宣布了莱斯利·穆恩维斯(Leslie Moonves)的辞职。该公司表示其首席运营官约瑟夫·扬涅洛(Joseph Ianniello)将担任此职位,直到提名出一位长期的接任者。

The announcement came after The New Yorker magazine reported on new sex abuse accusations from six women. They accuse Moonves of abuses including forcing them to take part in sexual acts. They also said he acted to harm the careers of women who rejected his reported sexual demands.

这一公告是在《纽约客》杂志报道了6名女性新的性侵指控之后宣布的。这6名女性指控穆恩维斯性侵,包括强迫她们发生性行为。她们还表示,他毁了拒绝其性要求的女性的职业生涯。

The women said the abuse happened in the 1980s and early 2000s. CBS was already investigating Moonves for similar accusations made by six other women.

这些女性表示,这些性侵发生在上世纪80年代到本世纪初。哥伦比亚广播公司已经在调查其他6名女性对穆恩维斯提出的类似指控。

Moonves had denied the earlier accusations. Sunday, he again denied those and the more recent reports of abuse. In a statement, he said the accusations were untrue and not "consistent with who I am." He added that he was "deeply saddened" to leave CBS.

穆恩维斯否认了先前的指控。周日,他再次提出否认,并且还否认了最新的性侵报道。他在一份声明中表示,这些指控都是不真实的,跟他的真实为人完全不一致。他补充说,他非常难过要离开哥伦比亚广播公司。

In a statement to The New Yorker, Moonves said he had consensual sexual relations with three of the women. He said he had never used his position to hurt the careers of women.

穆恩维斯在发给《纽约客》的一份声明中表示,他与其中3名女性发生了双方都同意的性关系。他称自己从未利用职权伤害女性的职业生涯。

One of the latest accusers, Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb, told The New Yorker she reported her experiences with Moonves to Los Angeles police last year. But no action was taken because a statute of limitations had passed.

菲莉丝·戈尔登-戈特利布(Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb)是最新的控告者之一。她对《纽约客》杂志表示,去年她向洛杉矶警方告发了她跟穆恩维斯的经历。但是警方没有采取任何行动,因为诉讼时效已过。

She said Moonves, while working at a Hollywood production center in the late 1980s, had forced her to perform a sex act. Golden-Gottlieb said she repeatedly rejected other sexual demands from Moonves. She accused him of limiting her progress in the industry, telling the magazine "he absolutely ruined my career."

她说穆恩维斯上世纪80年代在一家好莱坞制作中心工作时强迫她发生了性关系。戈尔登-戈特利布表示,她一再拒绝了穆恩维斯的其它性要求。她指控穆恩维斯限制了她在这个行业的进步,并告诉该杂志,他完全毁了我的职业生涯。

Moonves spent 23 years at CBS in several positions and had served as CEO since 2006. The company had continual growth under his leadership. He became one of the highest paid and most powerful leaders in the industry.

穆恩维斯在哥伦比亚广播公司工作了23年,期间担任了多个职位,并自2006年起担任首席执行官。该公司在他的领导下不断发展壮大,他成为业内收入最高、最有影响力的领导者之一。

The network's statement did not deal directly with the new accusations. It said the company's financial settlement with Moonves will be decided after the abuse investigation is finished.

哥伦比亚广播公司的声明并未直接涉及这些新的指控。该声明称,该公司与穆恩维斯的财务协议将会在性侵调查结束后定夺。

The company also announced that Moonves would donate $20 million to one or more organizations that support the #MeToo movement and equality for women in the workplace.

该公司还宣布,穆恩维斯将向一家或多家支持MeToo运动或工作场所女性平等的组织捐赠2000万美元。

The #MeToo movement began in October 2017, shortly after several women accused American film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual abuse.

MeToo运动始于2017年10月,不久之后就有几名女性指控美国电影制片人哈维·韦恩斯坦( Harvey Weinstein)性侵。

Since then, many women and some men have publicly accused powerful people in business, government and entertainment of sexual abuse or unwanted sexual behavior. Many of the accused have either resigned or been removed from their positions.

自那以后,许多女性和一些男性公开指控商界、政府以及娱乐行业的权势人物进行性侵或强迫性行为。很多被指控者已经辞职或者被撤职。
