Former Ont. PC leader Patrick Brown calls allegations ‘absolute lies’
Former Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown says he’s contemplating legal action to restore his reputation in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations, which he calls “absolute lies.”
Brown, who had already strongly denied the allegations, gave his first interview since stepping down from his position last month to the Postmedia news agency.
In what the outlet calls an “emotional interview,” Brown compares his experience of being accused of sexual misconduct to “getting hit by a truck.”
He says the incidents alleged by two women in a CTV News report “didn’t happen,” and he suggests being forced to resign as leader just months before a provincial election was akin to “frontier justice.”
