" Charlie Rose  is suspended immediately while we look into this matter. These allegations are extremely disturbing and we take them very seriously " CBS News said in a statement.
Five women told The Washington Post that Rose  an anchor for "CBS This Morning " groped them; two said that he walked naked in front of them; and one accused  Rose  of firing her after he allegedly touched her inappropriately and made sexually charged remarks to her.
The newspaper reported that  Rose 's accusers either worked with or aspired to work with him on his PBS show  "Charlie Rose " from the late 1990s to 2011. At the time of the alleged incidents  the women ranged in age from 21 to 37  according to the newspaper.
 Rose  issued an apology to the Post and later  he shared it on Twitter.

Kyle Godfrey-Ryan  a former assistant to  Rose  in the mid-2000s and one of the three accusers who spoke to the Post on the record  claimed that  Rose  walked nude in front of  her  at one of his homes in New York City and called  her  in the wee hours to describe fantasies of watching  her  swim naked.  She  said that  she  reported his calls to  Rose 's longtime executive producer  Yvette Vega  who apparently told  her   "That's just Charlie being Charlie."  Vega  told the Post and later confirmed to ABC News that  she  regretted not doing more for Godfrey-Ryan and others who mounted similar complaints.
“I should have stood up for them ”  she  said. “I failed. It is crushing. I deeply regret not helping them.”
Godfrey-Ryan said that ultimately  Rose fired  her   and  she  later left journalism.
“He took me out to lunch and told me how embarrassed he was  how he didn’t treat me like that ”  she  said. “It was really about how I got it wrong  and  obviously  I couldn’t work there anymore.”
Reah Bravo  who worked alongside Rose beginning in 2007  claimed to the Post that  she  was groped -- sometimes forcefully -- by  Rose  on more than one occasion. In 2008   she  said that as  she  prepared to accept a new job   Rose  offered  her  a position in Washington  D.C.  and the opportunity to live in his Georgetown residence.  She  declined.
“I was leaving because I was getting away ”  she  said. “I would never want to live someplace where he had keys.”
Megan Creydt  the third woman who spoke to the Post on the record  overlapped with Godfrey-Ryan when  she  worked as a coordinator on  Rose 's show from 2005 to 2006. Creydt claimed that  Rose  put his hand on  her  thigh  which alarmed  her .
"I don’t think I said anything ”  she  said. “I tensed up. I didn’t move his hand off  but I pulled my legs to the other side of the car. I tried not to get in a car with him ever again. I think he was testing me out.”
