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.
