Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown is denying allegations of sexual impropriety dating back to his days as a federal member of Parliament.
“These allegations are false,” Brown said Wednesday in an extraordinary nighttime news conference at Queen’s Park in Toronto. “Every one of them. I will defend myself as hard as I can, with all the means at my disposal. I can’t speculate on the motive of my accusers, I can only say they what they are saying is categorically untrue.”
He called the press conference just ahead of a report on CTV’s national news, promising graphic allegations of misconduct from two women.
“It’s never OK for anyone to feel they have been a victim of sexual harassment or feel threatened in any way,” Brown said. “We need to move forward to eradicate sexual violence and harassment across the province, across the country. Everywhere.”
He suggested he will sue his accusers: “I know that the court of public opinion moves fast. I have instructed my attorneys to ensure that these allegations are addressed where they should be: in a court of law,” he said.
More to come.
