BREAKING: Placido Domingo, considered a living God in the Opera world, faces dozens of accusations of sexual harassment


Opera great Placido Domingo defended himself against multiple accusations of sexual harassment Tuesday as the Los Angeles Opera opened a probe into the "concerning allegations" and another group canceled one of his performances. In a report by the Associated Press, several women, one of whom was identified, accused Domingo of using his position as one of opera's most celebrated singers to pressure them into sexual relationships.

One said Domingo had put his hand down her skirt while three said he had forcibly kissed them.
