he asked if he could masturbate in front of her. She declined.

Louis C.K. asked if he could take out his penis, the women said.
They thought it was a joke and laughed it off. “And then he really did it,” Ms. Goodman said in an interview with The New York Times. “He proceeded to take all of his clothes off, and get completely naked, and started masturbating.”

and

during the phone conversation, she said, she could hear him masturbating as they spoke

I'm not seeing any misconduct. Did I miss the part where he was blocking the door, or had a gun?
An odd fetish. But everything was consensual, so I thought we're not supposed to judge?
Being creepy is not a crime.

But who am I to get in the way of a good witch burning. Who's bringing the marshmallows?

Being creepy is not a crime.

That's true, and I don't think anything here could be construed as a crime.

There's something about having a position of power, or influence, that causes one to develop some self-destructive tendencies. Once you've "made it", it's pretty easy to not mess it up in this way - be anonymous in your weirdness (via internet is a good way), and just keep yourself under control. But many people (not all, of course), begin entering into some self-destructive paths even as their influence and wealth and fame is peaking. Good examines include Tiger Woods (sleeping around left, right, and center), Bill Clinton, and loads others - this recent wave of the Hollywood people is also indicative of this trend.
