Charlie Rose, the longtime journalist whose career collapsed last year following claims of sexual misconduct, is facing new allegations that he behaved inappropriately with women he previously worked with.
The Washington Post reported Thursday on several new claims by various women who said Rose, who worked with CBS and PBS, groped them and made suggestive comments.

The report also said upper management at CBS was aware of the allegations but took no action.
Corrina Collins was a 22-year-old intern for PBS when she said she was traveling for work with Rose, who she said insisted she drink wine while the two were on an airplane. She said she got drunk and threw up in the plane’s toilet.
When they arrived at the hotel, where she said Rose insisted they work, Collins said Rose said to her, “I want you to ride me.”
Collins said she alerted Yvette Vega, the executive producer of Rose’s PBS show, only to be told that Rose was harmless.
Annmarie Parr said she was a 22-year-old news clerk working at CBS when she said Rose made comments to her, including “Annmarie, do you like sex?” and “Do you enjoy it? How often do you like to have sex?”
The allegations against Rose went as far back as 1976, according to the report.
Executives for CBS denied any knowledge of Rose’s alleged misconduct.
Rose only told the Post in a statement, “Your story is unfair and inaccurate.”
Rose was fired in November from CBS, where he co-hosted the “This Morning” weekday program. That same month PBS dropped his interview program.
