Silicon Valley tech workers circulate private list of alleged sexual predators

A private spreadsheet containing the names of more than 100 alleged sexual predators is reportedly circulating among women and tech workers in Silicon Valley. Described as a ‘whisper network,’ the document is used to warn others about individuals accused of misconduct, including sexual assault, rape, and drugging.

The list is not publicly available and reportedly includes prominent investors and businessmen. Some women in the industry have expressed reluctance to report incidents to the police due to fears of professional retaliation or being blacklisted by influential investors.

These reports follow recent investigations into ‘hacker houses’—private residences where many young technology workers live and socialize—which have been linked to allegations of sexual harassment and abuse within the tech community.
