> "dog bites man" isn't news but "man bites dog" is. That would imply that "jocks have sex" isn't news but "nerds have sex" is. Heh. But there were also news about jocks having sex... so perhaps the rule governing the sexual harassment coverage in news is instead: "sex sells". Writing stories about sexual harassment, especially colorful stories with lots of details, is simply a way to write about sex (and for the readers to read about sex) with plausible deniability. "No, I am NOT writing/reading these juicy stories as a form of porn; how dare you suggest that?! We are fighters against patriarchy, and we need to know every technical detail about how this agent of patriarchy misbehaved."
