The BBC reported that more than 30 current and former staff of PinkNews have accused its founder and chief executive, Benjamin Cohen, and his husband, Anthony James, of inappropriate behaviour towards younger male colleagues.

Several former staff members told the BBC they saw James, a director and chief operating officer of the UK-based organisation, kissing and groping a junior colleague who they believed was too drunk to consent.

Multiple former employees also told the broadcaster they had seen or personally experienced bullying and sexual misconduct, which made some of them feel unsafe to be alone with Cohen and James.
