Devil's advocate: We should be careful about doing this as we could end up harassing someone over a false claim or overreaction. In this case, maybe some discretion is necessary. I do support public humiliation in cases that are well documented and blatant.

(Historically, women who have made sexual harassment charges have had trouble getting future jobs.) She has more incentive to cover it up than to expose the harassment.
