Jonathan Kaiman, former L.A. Times Beijing Bureau chief, resigned from the paper on Tuesday, three months after he was suspended following a sexual misconduct accusation by another journalist.
“I can confirm that the Los Angeles Times completed its investigation into the matter and that Jonathan Kaiman resigned. At this time, we are not able to provide additional details on this personnel matter,” a spokesperson for the paper told TheWrap.
Felicia Sonmez, who was based in Beijing at the same time as Kaiman, said he groped her when they met in September and pressured her into a sexual encounter after heavy drinking.
