There are sexual predators in every industry. The only difference is Dustin Hoffman or Kevin Spacey, etc., are household names. Stories about them are newsworthy. The boss at the local bank or the office manager - nobody in the media is interested. If this is really the worst allegation about Dustin Hoffman, then he is a better man than millions of others. That is not to defend him, but to point out that this is really a non-story when you hold it up to workplace harassment that goes on every day.
