Los Angeles Times Publisher and Chief Executive Ross Levinsohn has been given an unpaid leave of absence amid allegations that he engaged in improper "frat-boy" behavior while working for other companies.

The story also said Levinsohn admitted to rating the physical attractiveness of female colleagues at a digital media company where he worked prior to joining the Los Angeles paper.

Levinsohn was a defendant in two sexual harassment lawsuits before he joined the Times.
Shows you just how much the Times checks things out duh ensues.
