More Women Accuse Matt Lauer of Sexual Harassment, Assault
----------------------------------------------------------

More women have stepped forward to accuse Matt Lauer of sexual
harassment, after NBC News said Wednesday it has fired the longtime
Today Show host. An investigation by the magazine Variety found Lauer
once gave a sex toy to a colleague along with a note about how he wanted
to use it on her. Variety also reports Lauer exposed his genitals to a
colleague and reprimanded her when she rejected his advances. Meanwhile,
the New York Times reports one former NBC employee was summoned by Lauer
to his office in 2001. Lauer allegedly locked the door and sexually
assaulted her.
