The PinkNews boss accused of kissing a youthful colleague “too drunk to consent” has been suspended from his NHS function following sexual misconduct allegations on the information outlet.
Benjamin Cohen, founder and CEO of PinkNews, and his husband, Dr Anthony James, have been accused by greater than 30 present and former workers of inappropriate behaviour in direction of employees. Each have denied the allegations, calling them false.
Dr James has now been suspended from his part-time function as affiliate non-executive director at Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Basis Belief pending additional investigation.
The function includes collaborating with govt and non-executive board colleagues, taking part in board actions, and contributing to collective decision-making.
In a press release, Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Basis Belief stated: “Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Basis Belief is conscious of allegations made on the BBC towards Dr Anthony James, affiliate non-executive director, in his function as PinkNews’ chief working officer.
“Following these allegations, we made the choice on Tuesday 10 December to droop him from his affiliate non-executive function, pending additional data.”
Based on a BBC investigation, a number of employees members on the world’s largest LGBTQ+ information web site claimed to have witnessed Dr James kissing and touching a junior colleague who appeared too intoxicated to consent.
The alleged incident reportedly occurred outdoors a London pub following a PinkNews occasion.
Representatives for Mr Cohen and Dr James informed the BBC they might not present a press release “at the moment” however reiterated that the allegations have been false.
In the identical report, a former employees member alleged that Mr Cohen slapped him on the rear in entrance of others at a Christmas get together, whereas one other claimed to have been invited to Mr Cohen’s dwelling beneath the pretext that his husband wasn’t there.
Present workers have since known as for the pair to resign, accusing the corporate of fostering a “poisonous tradition.” Talking to The Unbiased, employees expressed fears that PinkNews may “crumble” if the “boastful” pair refuse to step down, although many are sceptical that resignations will happen.

The office atmosphere was described as “unstable,” with workers reportedly avoiding Mr Cohen’s presence in conferences as a result of issues about inappropriate remarks.
The Unbiased has contacted PinkNews for remark.
