Sexual harassment allegations involving WXYZ aren't going away anytime soon.

Demonstrators plan to converge outside of WXYZ ‘s studio in Southfield on Tuesday at noon to protest what they call a “cover up” by news management to protect the television station’s journalists accused of sexual misconduct, writes Steve Neavling of Motor City Muckraker.

Women who say they are victims will join the demonstration, says uts organizer, Rev. W.J. Rideout III, pastor of Our God's People Church in Detroit.

Women accuse three WXYZ journalists of sexual misconduct, and another is accused of using racist language in front of black colleagues, Neavling reports.

Anchor Malcolm Maddox was placed on administrative leave last Wednesday right after Rideout made the claims public.
