My wife's told me stories of what might not be considered "assult" but at least harassment in her employment 40 plus years ago. She was a young radio reporter, back then it was still primarily a male oriented business. They are all believable, from jocks dropping trousers to get a reaction while she was doing the news to well known personalities groping her in dark hallways. She worked evenings, there was a culture of morning guys who "slept over" on potential snow storm mornings.
I can remember a couple of times stopping by another station where I was employed as was asked by the young woman who was on air to stick around because the contract engineer was there and he had a history and reputation on "hitting on young women".
Back then going to management was basically useless, it was a good ole boys network. Outside of a "strict warning" or a slap on the wrist nothing was going to happen.
