181809, Tor editor fired for sexual harrassment volunteers at con where it happened Posted by imcvspl, Wed Jun-04-14 10:57 AM
Sorry yall since I opened this pandora's box i'm just looking at everything now.
So Jim Frenkle's a long time editor at Tor had a history of sexual harrassment, the last occurance was at WisCon last year. This time it was reported - http://maryrobinettekowal.com/journal/on-sexual-harassment-at-conventions-elise-matheson-speaks-out/
Soon after he was let go of from Tor. Incidentally his wife was once married to an author he used to edit Vernor Vinge. Okay that's getting a little soapy...
But then.... bladaow!!! He works as a volunteer for this year's WisCon.
*edit* just to add this link which if you scroll to the bottom includes link after link of more sexual harassment stuff including Asimov the ass pincher and Ellison the breast grabber: http://radishreviews.com/2013/07/01/harassment-and-the-back-channel/
