Canada’s prime minister has again struck down allegations that he groped a female reporter at a music festival in Creston, British Columbia, in 2000.
“I remember that day in Creston well,” Trudeau said, speaking to reporters in Regina, Saskatchewan. “I had a good day that day. I don’t remember any negative interactions that day at all.”
Trudeau was accused of “groping” and “inappropriately handling” a young female reporter in an unsigned editorial, which appeared in the Creston Valley Advance newspaper after the music festival.
The editorial said that the 18-year-old woman felt “blatantly disrespected” by Trudeau, who was then 28-years-old. It also claimed that Trudeau apologized for the incident and said: “If I had known you were reporting for a national paper, I would have never been so forward.
