Misconduct Allegations: Constituency Assistant and Ontario Liberals

misconduct allegations: Little did they know it would happen five months before the election and end the career of the PC leader, according to NOW Magazine. Brown is gonzo, toast, finished after sexual misconduct allegations leveled against him by two women. The Ontario Liberals were waiting for a misstep to knock Patrick Brown off his perch. The allegations, first reported by CTV, involve two incidents, one with a constituency assistant while Brown was a backbencher in Stephen Harper's government, another 10 years ago involving a woman who says she was in high school at the time.A clearly shaken Brown presided over a hastily-called press conference at Queen's Park just before 10 pm last night to read a prepared statement saying he would fight the allegations. By then, his campaign manager, chief of staff, deputy campaign manager and press secretary had already resigned, and taken to Twitter to let the world know, indicating that the situation may be worse than is currently being reported. Tellingly, there was no one with him. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
