Jeffrey Tambor to Leave Transparent After Sexual Assault Charges
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hollywood actor Jeffrey Tambor said Sunday he's leaving the hit Amazon
series Transparent, in which he stars as a trans woman, after two
transgender women accused him of unwanted sexual contact. In one
allegation, Tambor's former assistant, trans actress Van Barnes, says
Tambor sexually harassed and groped her; in another, Tambor's co-star
Trace Lysette says he pushed his body against her between takes on the
set of Transparent. Tambor has denied the allegations.
