Not exactly hard to find. We can quibble about the exact percentages and the methodology but the odds of the real percentage being close to 0 when ~50% of women reported an inappropriate advance from a superior are nil.
You're asking for a completely unreasonable standard to be upheld. If an employee said they got mugged and their laptop was missing, you wouldn't start asking if they were out late at night, were they drinking, "why did you put yourself in that situation," we'll replace your laptop the next time you lose it, etc, you'd say "that's awful" and replace their laptop.
