Talking about porn makes you a creepy greaseball? I guess that makes me one.
Talking about porn in the presence of people who's attitudes towards porn you are not sure of, yeah, that makes you a creepy greaseball. Talking about porn socially with people who's attitudes you know? That's not creepy at all. Talking about porn with a subordinate of <appropriate gender>? Never OK.
The thing here is understanding context and the way other people's feelings need to be respected.
Being a creepy greaseball is not illegal, we have social ways of dealing with that. But this wasn't that situation, it was a more serious one, because these were subordinates he had control over; in that position it's just not ethical to push people to talk about porn and to accept your announcement that you want to grope them. And it's bad business when we are talking about people who were not hired as prostitutes but as long-term assets for the company.
