I've seen the alleged "transcripts" of these tapes. And still question how far she's going to get with them. All that needs to be asked is "Why didn't you just hang up?"

"Public figures" like Mr. O'Reilly have even less of a ghost of a chance of winning slander lawsuits. But unless he is photographed with a live girl or dead boy in his bed, I don't see this going anywhere.

Let's see. It is now 4:04 am where you live. Why don't you pick up the phone dial a coworker on the phone and speak to him or her about your sexual fantasies while you utilize a 'personal massager' and touch yourself to climax.

If the co-worker hangs-up the phone you have done nothing wrong!

The answer is obvious: she was "setting him up".
More immediately to the point, unless she told him she was recording the conversations, they are illegal and inadmissible in court.

Can't "record" if you "hang up"...

IMHO, he is toast...the issue is he had "control" over her...that is the real problem with sexual harrasment...it is a "quid pro quo" of a sexual deviant having the luxury of hitting on an insubordiante at his liking and figuring he is SO powerful that he will "backed" by the investors and the lawyers, people like him are always convinced THEY will get away with it...look at Bill Clinton!

O'Reilly strikes me as the "type" who feels entitled to this type of work place behavior...

I have always been disgusted with his horny boyish behavior when certain women are guests on his show...
