>He wasn’t sexually assaulting people he just dated someone at work.

He was also misusing corporate funds to pursue subordinates, serially lying to his board of directors, and breaking a pledge he had made to them. That's the reason why he was "fired". It was not simply because he had an affair.

serially lying to his board of directors

I was once told, “as the CEO your job is to keep the board completely snowed so you can run the company without interference”.

Honestly I thought this was table stakes in the valley.
