The report details New York-based voice coach Peter Rof\u00e9\u2019s sexual predation dating back more than a decade and involving numerous aspirant female voice actors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mr. Peter Rof\u00e9 was a very vocal supporter of Voice123 in our early years and, in good faith, we often recommended his coaching services to members of our voice over community. We\u2019ve had no dealings with him for many years, and had absolutely no knowledge of Mr. Rof\u00e9&#8217;s untoward activities. Because of this, any reference to, or association that may have remained between Voice123 and him, has been summarily terminated\u2014and will remain so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The entire team would like to emphasize that it both abhors and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">outright condemns any form of sexual harassment or violence against women. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re also in the process of working on a solution that will provide the members of our voice over community with a means to report any such activity going forward. It needs to be dealt with swiftly, resolutely, and with zero tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Alexander Torrenegra<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Voice123 Co-founder<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CEO of Torre Inc.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Voice123 is the world&#8217;s first and most-trusted marketplace for professional voice actors.
