I thought it was alleged inappropriate touching or something.Though I do recall that there were investigations into it that didn't turn anything up. Was there a new development?

There was a rape allegation from his graduate student years, and several accusations of inappropriate touching and comments, including inappropriately using his position to pressure an employee into sex.

His whole response and handling of the situation was also a side eye. That turned me off him alone.

He was using his power positions over employees to get sexual favors. He's fucking gross and his response to it was also not good.
