Taran Tactical

I'll add my two cents again to this thread. Taran is a high profile shooter that has done quite well in the competitive arena and promoting his business as the recognized trainer to the stars. The young girl in question was a teenager at the time of the video, and also the daughter of his friend. Taran was in a position of power/authority while this video was made, and his comments of "show me your precious" and other reference to a black male actor they had trained were simply inappropriate. Taran realized this after the video leaked and made a public apology via his social media platform. It's my opinion the damage has been done, and Taran will suffer the financial and social consequences of this.

He only apologized because the video got leaked and not for the actions, he played the victim

I've never quite understood this whole thing.

Porn is a legal profession, and even prostitution in some places. How can that be reconciled with a system that outlaws sexual harrassment ?

Is the casting couch legal for the porn industry ?

Can a "normal" job just have some terms added to the job description ?

If it's legal for a contract in the porn industry to say "you will give this guy a blowjob as a condition of your employment" why isn't it legal to add that to a secretarial contract ?

Could a regular corporate HR department add some porn like clauses into their employee handbooks to insulate themselves from sexual harrassment lawsuits ?

Now, I'm not advocating anything here, and any company that values its workforce will want to eliminate any sexual harrassment, but how is it a legal issue ?

The answers to your third and fifth questions are "no."

The girl was a 19 year old adult. She okayed the interaction whether she really liked him or liked him enough to willingly play along to want to keep her job.

This happens every day with employers and employees. It’s not illegal to flirt with an employee. Many relationships are made that way that eventually lead to marriage.

What is not right is if the employer forces himself on an unwilling employee. She definitely was willing.

Maybe, but it's really unprofessional at the least. Why risk it as an employer? It's one thing if he made his intentions more formal -- maybe asked if she wanted to go out on a date or something. It's still a conflict of interest, but he's being a little upfront posing it as a date or something, and giving her an option to avoid that setting all together.

Don't mix work with sex or politics. It's a risk to your career that you may never recover from in this digital age.
