The New York Times Co. said on Monday that it has suspended reporter Glenn Thrush after the star White House correspondent was accused of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior against young female journalists. Vox published a report Monday morning detailing instances in which Thrush drunkenly made sexual advances. Thrush apologized in a statement given to Vox, saying that any behavior that makes a woman feel disrespected or uncomfortable is unacceptable. The New York Times said that Thrush plans to enter a substance abuse program, though the length of his suspension was not mentioned. “The alleged behavior is very concerning and not in keeping with the standards and values of The New York Times,” the paper said in a statement. “We intend to fully investigate and while we do, Glenn will be suspended. We support his decision to enter a substance abuse program. In the meantime, we will not be commenting further.”
