   I worked for him at Landegg. It was like I was recruited. I remember sitting   
   in his office when I first arrived and it was odd. The woman I was replaced   
   had a career launch from working for him. They had a very odd relationship.   
   Now knowing he had this    
   record, I can see she probably was one of these women.  He was a typical boss   
   misusing power.
