Sexual allegations have always been a major issue in all aspects of life —  politics, entertainment, and corporate companies to name a few. Ever since Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood producer, was accused of sexual misconduct, many recent sexual allegations have come to light. Numerous men at high positions such as Al Franken, the U.S. senator, Glenn Thrush, a reporter at the New York Times, and Andrew Kreisberg, an executive producer of the TV shows Arrow, Supergirl, and The Flash, and unfortunately many more have been accused of sexual misconduct and harassment.

Sexual harassment has always existed, but the victims coming out and reporting the situation has surged in the past month. Often the accused perpetrators are people at high positions and after the accusations, many have to take a step down and either quit their job or take a long break until all of the news calms down.

Above is a timeline of the accused perpetrators and what they were accused of.
