Wynn Resorts Ltd. WYNN -0.30% executives turned a blind eye as Steve Wynn over more than a decade was accused of sexually assaulting or harassing cocktail servers, salon workers and flight attendants employed by his casino empire, according to allegations contained in a regulator's report that the company agreed largely matches its own findings.
The report, known as a complaint and released in tandem Monday with a proposed settlement between Wynn Resorts Ltd. and the Nevada Gaming Control Board, was prompted by an investigation in The Wall Street Journal last year that described sexual misconduct allegations against Mr. Wynn. Those included that in 2005 he had paid a settlement of $7.5 million to a former manicurist who accused him of forcing her to have sex with him.
In its complaint, the Gaming Control Board said the woman told multiple people at a Wynn casino that she had been "raped" and impregnated by Mr. Wynn.
The report marks the first formal admission by the company of the lack of response by high-level executives to the allegations against Mr. Wynn, as well as the first regulatory action against Wynn Resorts related to the scandal.

When Trump, now 71, won the White House, he made Wynn, 76, finance chair of the Republican National Committee. Under Wynn, the RNC raised more than $120 million in 2017 -- a record for a non-election year.
Then Friday the Wall Street Journal reported allegations that Wynn demanded sexual favors from and assaulted female hotel employees over the last three decades. The next day, RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel announced she had accepted Wynn's resignation from the RNC. On Tuesday, Politico and others reported the RNC was expected to name Republican megadonor Todd Ricketts as Wynn's replacement.
