Silicon Valley 'sex assault list' with 'over 100' names circulated

A private spreadsheet circulating in Silicon Valley contains allegations of sexual misconduct against over 100 people, including prominent investors and businessmen, according to sources who spoke with The New York Post. Many women in the tech industry fear reporting assaults to police due to concerns about retaliation and being blacklisted by powerful figures, leading them to rely on informal "whisper networks" instead. The incidents often occur in communal "hacker houses" where overlapping professional and social relationships create environments where predators can exploit vulnerabilities, particularly targeting isolated or newly arrived individuals seeking to build careers in tech.
