Reporter at Center of Globe In-House Sexual Harassment Story Identified

BOSTON — The Boston Globe, in an explosive story published last Friday that detailed anecdotes of in-house sexual misconduct, refused to name the reporter the newspaper dismissed "months ago" over a series of allegations, including one claim where he allegedly asked a younger reporter if she wanted to have sex with his wife.

On Thursday morning, drive-time radio host Kirk Minihane of WEEI-FM 93.7 confirmed the identity of the dismissed reporter — James O'Sullivan — a prominent political journalist.
