BERLIN: A growing sexual assault and harassment scandal surrounding German TV director Dieter Wedel took on a political dimension Friday as accusations of a cover-up hit a public broadcaster. A cascade of allegations against Wedel mark the first in Germany since the global #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct gained momentum in the wake of the disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein?s downfall in October. In two high-profile articles, respected weekly Die Zeit has reported accusations levelled by several women against Wedel, 75, ranging from pressure for sex from female staff to rape over more than four decades.
