Another woman has come forward to accuse American television host Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment.
While the woman, a secretary, did not work for O'Reilly directly, it is claimed her desk was located close to his when the alleged harassment took place.
The attorney for a former Fox News contributor, whose appearances dried up after she says she refused Bill O'Reilly's advances, wants an independent investigation of sexual harassment allegations at Fox News.

The attorney for a former Fox News contributor, whose appearances dried up after she says she refused Bill O'Reilly's advances, wants an independent investigation of sexual harassment allegations at Fox News.
Her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, told The Hollywood Reporter O'Reilly would call her client "hot chocolate" - a reference to her being African American.
"He would never talk to her, not even hello, except to grunt at her like wild boar," she said. "He would leer at her. He would always do this when no one else was around and she was scared."

Bloom said her newest client isn't seeking damages. Instead, she just wants Fox News executives to know what allegedly occurred back in 2008.
"She is not asking for any money," Bloom said. "She was afraid if she told him to knock it off, she'd get fired ... [but] now that she's aware this is all in the news, she's decided to phone in a complaint to the Fox News hotline."

The latest allegations come after an explosive report in The New York Times revealed Fox News' parent company had paid settlements totalling $13 million to keep five women quiet about alleged mistreatment at the hands of O'Reilly.
Dozens of advertisers have turned their backs on The O'Reilly Factor after the allegations were made public. There have also been protests outside Fox News headquarters in New York.
The Murdoch family has also come under intense pressure to sack O'Reilly in recent weeks so as not to damage their popular TV network any further. Lachlan and James Murdoch are considering cutting the veteran anchor loose, while their father - Ruper Murdoch - is reportedly in favour of keeping him within the Fox News stable.
For his part, the prime-time star has denied any wrongdoing. He has said the settlements are not an admission of guilt and were made so his family would not be dragged through a lengthy legal process.
O'Reilly is due to return to television screens on April 24.
