Former Fox News Channel correspondent James Rosen left the network last month amid sexual misconduct allegations, according to NPR.

NPR reported that there were three separate instances in which Rosen made "overt physical and sexual overtures" to co-workers.

The first instance reportedly involved Rosen groping a female Fox reporter in a New York City cab in the early 2000s, while a State Department producer for the network accused him of directly sexually harassing her years later.

The most recent incident took place last spring, when Rosen tried to kiss a young female reporter in an elevator.

The Hill has reached out to Fox News and Rosen for comment.

No further explanation was provided at the time.



The 49-year-old Johns Hopkins University graduate had generated headlines in 2013 after it was revealed the Obama Justice Department spied on him extensively three years earlier as part of a probe into documents leaked to the media.



Rosen, whom the Justice Department labeled a "criminal co-conspirator and a flight risk," had his movements tracked when entering and exiting the State Department and his phone records and personal emails searched.

Rosen in a tweet after he left Fox said he hoped to have news about his future endeavors soon.
