Five women accuse James Franco of sexual misconduct

Five women have accused actor James Franco of behavior they found "inappropriate or sexually exploitative," reports the Los Angeles Times. The allegations largely stem from interactions at two acting schools, environments in which the women felt Franco could directly help their careers through casting in his own projects.

Why it matters: Franco, who won Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy at Sunday's Golden Globes, came under fire for expressing support for the Time's Up movement amid rumors of his own misconduct.
