Its also company policy that you should be fired on the spot for sleeping at your desk -- some kind of hold over from manufacturing that makes no sense for most office positions.
Risk exposure to lawsuit is incomparable to the relationship case but it was consensual.

Yeah, and if the CEO was sleeping at his desk it'd be reasonable to either reprimand him or expect him to spend 30 seconds rescinding that policy because “the rules are for you but not me” has a terrible effect on morale.
It's not just the specific act(s) but the fact that he knowingly broke policy, which raises the question of whether he decided other policies also didn't apply to him. CEOs have a lot of power and enormous compensation and, at least in theory, that's founded on their judgement.
