| Description | Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown denied allegations of sexual misconduct at an unexpected news conference at the provincial legislature on Wednesday night, calling them "categorically untrue."
The conference came just ahead of a CTV News report detailing allegations by two women dating back to when Brown was a federal MP.
CBC News has not independently confirmed the allegations.
In an appearance only about a minute long, a visibly distressed Brown said he'd learned about the allegations a couple of hours earlier.
"I want to say: These allegations are false. Every one of them," he said. "I will defend myself as hard as I can, with all the means at my disposal."
"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."
Ontario will go to the polls on June 7, with the Tories looking to unseat Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne. |
