The medical examiner claimed there were other instances of this.
Which means this is not an isolated case.

My wife was sexually harassed by Miles Hewstone as a phd student. He was still asked to review her (and other women he harassed) for jobs and promotions. This is so fucked up.
Thankfully, she and many other women testified against him and something was finally done. This is her take on his case:

Great news: finally Miles Hewstone is exposed. I stopped citing him years ago, I warned friends/colleagues when I saw them publishing together, I informed as many people as possible about him. We all did. Had this piece been published 15 years ago, everyone would have already known. Shame on Oxford.

There is so much to be disappointed about in this story--from the institutional response to Miles Hewstone himself. We still have a lot of work to do to make academic environments inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive, and where harassers are held accountable.

Sexual harassment is a scourge to academia and should have no place in our field. That it still does is, in part, because institutions still value academic prestige over the untold harms done to often early career scholars.
