In light of the recent revelation that Geoff Anders was sexually involved with multiple of his employees [1], it is perhaps appropriate to ask:

Has Larissa, currently working as the Public Engagement Specialist at Leverage Research, ever been involved, or is she currently involved in a non-platonic relationship with the Executive Director of Leverage Research, Geoff Anders?

>Geoff, as the leader of the organization, dated employees/subordinates. I'm aware of 3 women he had a sexual or non-platonic relationship with. Geoff was about 40 by the end of the project, and new recruits were often 19-23. I believe a similar >10-year age gap existed in one relationship. I have no reason to believe these were non-consensual; I view these as questionable management decisions, not necessarily tangible harms.
