More details about disgraced “Today” show host Matt Lauer’s behavior in the workplace have been revealed, with one female employee alleging that he locked the door in his office and sexually assaulted her until she passed out.

The New York Times reported that the alleged incident took place in 2001 and involved an unnamed, married woman who was in her 40s at the time. She said that Lauer was at his desk and she sat down before he locked the door by pressing a button at his desk. He allegedly asked her to unbutton her blouse and then assaulted her.
