Isn't it the case in most industries with few jobs but with a high demand.
The media industry is in high demand. People want the fame associated with it and the money of stars. Making music is also enjoyable for a lot of people. For that you certainly need talent but there is more talent in this world than what is needed by the industry.
The result is a lot of competition, and when there is so much competition people will do a lot of things to get in. Closer to the HN crowd is the video game industry, you hear more stories of abuse than in other sectors, probably because, well, making a video game sound more fun than managing a customer database for a wholesaler.
Add to that that people in the media industry tend to be particularly attractive, and you have a greater chance for abuse to be sexual in nature.
