Tom Ashbrook, the host of one of National Public Radio's most successful programs, On Point, has been suspended while the network investigates sexual misconduct allegations made against him.

The allegations include that he engaged in "creepy" sex talks and gave unwanted hugs, neck and back rubs to 11 mostly young women and men who worked on the show.
