Accused != convicted.
The article itself says that 48 people (13 of them seniors members) were fired for similar claims. It's not as if Google was turning a blind eye.

Google's statement in their employee email was about firing 48 people for sexual misconduct since 2016. Which is to say, they may not be turning a blind eye now, but definitely were then. And of course, as the article points out, even if they've improved their handling of these incidents, DeVaul is still working there.
I might still now. However, since he has been allowed to continue to work there, has his behavior reformed or not? If it has, then it's not clear what benefit there would be in his firing now.
