[The Office] Other than Creed, did any of the subjects face any serious consequences for what they did during the documentary?

There was *a lot* of morally questionable and probably illegal stuff filmed over the 9 years the US documentary was filming.  Theft, assault, rampant sexual harassment, severe bullying, even firing a gun in an office.   

Surely there should have at least been more consequences from corporate HR.

- The Producers insist that all of it was consensual, and just acting.  Any kind of criminal charges resulting from the documentary would hurt its marketability, so they want to avoid that as much as possible.  If a prosecutor wanted to prosecute, they'd need someone to testify that the acts caught on camera *weren't* just acting, and prove that beyond a reasonable doubt.  

- The Scranton branch brings in more profit than any other branch of Dunder-Mifflin, so corporate is willing to look the other way on just about everything.  Including direct video evidence of acts that should result in criminal charges.

- The individuals involved shut their mouths because the producers explain there's dirt on *everyone.*  

- Dwight was unwilling to cooperate (willing to face time in jail for every crime he's committed so long as justice is done!) until he was made secret assistant to the producers.
