Two more sexual harassment claims against Fox-Wizel Ltd. (TASE: FOX) CEO Harel Wizel have surfaced over the past 48 hours, following the sexual harassment claims last week by two other women - one an employee and the other a business associate.
On Tuesday, Channel 10 aired an interview with a female employee who claimed that Wizel had forced himself on her. Last night Channel 10's Raviv Druker reported on a senior executive who claimed that his wife had told him that she had been sexually assaulted by Wizel during a business meeting.
Harel Wizel said, "These instances have been fundamentally distorted. Channel 10 continues to recycle material and consequently I don't intend continuing to provide news reacting to recycled material and participating in this campaign."
Fox-Wizel said, "Due to the importance of the topic the company decided at the start of the week to open up a thorough investigation procedure and has appointed an external investigator.
As a result of the claims against Wizel, the company's share price fell 8.6% yesterday and is down 13% since the start of the week.
