Should you doubt the veracity of my question - you wouldn't dare! - would you? - just take a look at this latest Lothario, Sir (for how long one wonders?) Phillip Green. Actually, he looks a bit like me when I played Falstaff!
I will not ruin your day by printing a photo of Harvey Weinstein but to me, they could be cousins at least! Mind you, and this is important, nothing has been proven against (Sir) Phillip but according to the Telegraph he induced several ladies, upset, apparently, by his unwanted sexual advances, to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) in return for 'loadsa' money'. Alas, the 'dandruff-ridden, smelly socks brigade' from Fleet Street (or thereabouts) began nosing around and poor (well, actually, stinking rich) Sir Phillip was forced to fork out half a mill' to buy the services of some top-class 'silks' (no, no, they're not tarts, they're lawyers - behave!) to enforce an injunction against the Telegraph and stop them publishing.
Alas and alack (or goody-goody according to your taste!), up pops Lord Peter Hain (and he's no angel either!) in the House of Lords and lets the secret out of the bag. Cue: a re-enactment of a Bateman cartoon, everyone was shocked, I tell you, shocked! Well, not me because one of my oldest friends was in the 'rag-trade' years ago when he and 'Phil' were just beginning. Suffice to say, my pal was not impressed! The good news, I suppose, is that the ladies concerned banked Phil's money and because they have not broken their NDAs they get to keep it. Simply too, too delicious!
Peter Hain - arse.

And so do those incredibly expensive top lawyers, who don't do "No Win, No Fee" cases! You'd have thought they would have told the poor old groper that, although they could sew it up tighter than a duck's proverbial, it would only take one parliamentarian with a grudge and he might as well not have bothered!

To answer the question, because if they were handsome they wouldn't be seen as pests.
