    Former television executive Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb talks about abuse at the hands of Les Moonves in the law offices of Gloria Allred in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sept. 11, 2018. Golden-Gottlieb worked with Moonves in the 1980 s. She said Moonves forced her to perform oral sex on him.

    New York Attorney General Letitia James' report about the insidious relationship between disgraced CBS chief Leslie Moonves and the Los Angeles police commander who tried to protect him filled me with rage and, to be honest, a kind of hopeless resignation.

    And yet that's exactly what the New York attorney general says a now-retired LAPD commander did after Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb, a retired TV show after the report was released.
