Emails from 2014 and 2015 suggest that a top editor for the progressive magazine Mother Jones sexually assaulted subordinates and made inappropriate comments about their bodies, a report said. The disclosures regarding Washington bureau chief David Corn prompted the magazine's editor and chief executive to announce Thursday that they would investigate Corn’s conduct for the second time in three years, Politico reported.
Copies of the two emails, written by former Mother Jones staffers, were obtained by Politico.
Corn, now 58, often joked about rape and "regularly" gave "unwelcome shoulder rubs" to several women, according to the email written in 2015.
The email also alleged that Corn "engaged in uninvited touching of their legs, arms, backs and waists" and "made inappropriate comments about women’s sexuality and anatomy."
The 2014 email, which was written by a female employee, charged that Corn "came up behind me and put his hands and arms around my body in a way that felt sexual and domineering."

Corn had previously mocked President Donald Trump on the topic of sexual assault. He tweeted in March: "When it comes to raising awareness about sexual assault, Donald Trump leads by example."
