They believed the woman and said they suspect there have been others. Maybe Lauer admitted it or maybe NBC was trying to get out from under a very costly contract.
In any event, it's not a court of law so trial by jury is not necessary for a company to fire an employee. If he feels he's innocent, he has the right to sue for unjust dismissal and slander. If he does sue successfully, NBC would pay out a lot more than what his contract called for so I would guess that they are pretty sure about what occurred.
But problems might develop as these people are exposed. It's getting pretty easy for a woman to simply accuse a man of something that might have happened years ago in order to ruin his life. I would guess that there are plenty of vindictive women out there that might be thinking about getting someone back for some kind of issue that was not sexual harrassment.
