Also experience tell's you the person isn't going to do anything inappropriate in front of colleagues and do any sexual misconduct.

Not really. How many people are only being called out now for having done all sorts of inappropriate things, and who are at or near the top of their field?

You can be an 80 year old man who is doing totally inappropriate things by sexting pictures of their junk to underage kids.

Or haven’t you been watching the news lately?

Is that why so many higher up people with many years experience get called out for sexual misconduct? I think your argument is not correct...
