Then-married former NBC employee claims Lauer sexually assaulted her until she passed out in office
Fox News ^ | 30 Nov 17 | Edmund DeMarche

Matt Lauer, the disgraced former anchor of NBC's "Today" show who was fired Wednesday for “inappropriate sexual behavior,” once summoned a married female employee to his office, locked the door and sexually assaulted her until she passed out, the New York Times reported after interviewing the accuser.

The alleged incident occurred in 2001. The woman, who was not named in the report, told the Times that she was in her 40s at the time.

According to the report, Lauer was behind his desk and she took a seat in the office. She said he locked the door from a button at his desk and he asked her to unbutton her blouse. She said she complied and claims he got up from his desk, approached her from behind, bent her over his desk and had sex.

Woke up on the floor

Matt Lauer has been terminated from NBC News. On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer. As a result, we’ve decided to terminate his employment. pic.twitter.com/1A3UAZpvPb — TODAY (@TODAYshow) November 29, 2017

She claims that she passed out during intercourse and woke up later on the floor in his office. She said Lauer had his assistant take her to a nurse. She told the Times that Lauer never mentioned the encounter with her again and she said she left the network about a year later.

The accuser asked the paper not to identify her in the report. The paper said it contacted her ex-husband who said he remembered the alleged encounter. The two were reportedly separated in 2001 and are now divorced.

The Times report said NBC received at least two more complaints about Lauer after the network announced he was fired prior to Wednesday’s "Today"...

Are you really surprised to find any of this out?

Not surprised it happened at all. Maybe a little surprised the Left hasn't been able to cover it up, as in the past. I wonder how many of their own they are willing to sacrifice to get Moore and Trump?

I wonder how much personal information she shared at work.
If Lauer knew she was at an insecure point in her life (divorce, financial concerns) that certainly reveals a predator who has honed in on weakness.

When you are given date rape drugs, you are very open to suggestion.

FUML! What a disgusting d!ck.

You either don’t understand date rape drugs or you are more than $99 short of $100.

You are a virtue signalling retard. What is wrong in being skeptical of a story that does not seem to add up? If she was raped, why did she, her husband or the nurse not file a police report? Which date rape drug causes you to take of your top, bend over and take it from behind? Morons like you are annoying. https://www.medicinenet.com/date_rape_drugs/article.htm

Have to ask: How many intense orgasms does it take to cause fainting?

Of course at my age (84) just thinking about the possibility would cause the need for a defibrillator...

So I'm going to retract the question...

You are an idiot.

These same drugs can be used for surgery, leaving the person totally willing, yet unaware of any pain or concern.

Drug ‘Devil’s Breath’ from Colombia can block free will, wipe memory and even kill:

Your brain is filled with sh!t.

Nowhere did I mention fault or blaming so you made an incorrect interpretation. I only addressed a potential rationale for attempting to minimize immediate physical danger and I did not assert that it was the best such strategy for doing so.

“Doesn’t pass the smell test.”

Looks like it didn’t pass her (former) husband’s smell test, either.

Apparently NBC was hard plugging 50 Shades of Gray...?

So Matt dipped into his file drawer.

Your are too stupid for critical thinking. I hope you have not bred yet; do not spread your stupid genes. I provided you a link of commonly used date drugs in the U.S; none of them make you act like a zombie. If the drug ‘Devil’s Breath’ from Colombia, that can block free will and wipe memory, was used, how does she remember taking off the top and bending over? Why did her husband divorce her the same year instead of dealing with the rapist? F#cking low IQ idiots like you are annoying.

Unbuttoning her blouse at Lauer’s suggestion sounds consentual.

Wasn’t addressing you, just the others who are bent on blaming the victim. Sorry for any confusion.

Never had a job I would do that to keep. At that point it becomes prostitution, never was willing to do that.
