Comedian Louis C.K. is confirming the sexual harassment allegations made by five women against him in the "New York Times." In a statement, the comedian said the women's accounts were true, and at the time he thought his actions were ok because he always asked a woman if it was alright to show her his genitals. He says he knows now that those encounters were inappropriate because he used his fame to influence a woman's response. C.K. said he had spent his "long and lucky" career saying anything he wanted, but now he will "step back and listen."
