“Newsweek Media Group say their independent external law firm did a ‘thorough investigation’ and ‘did not find evidence to substantiate the reported allegations of sexual harassment during his tenure with his previous employer,’ Reuters.
“Newsweek also said ‘the investigation found that Candappa has conducted himself in a professional manner at Newsweek Media Group.’
“Candappa, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, and a spokesperson for Newsweek didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
