John Furlong: Georgia Straight

Vancouver Organizing Committee Dept: Eight people who said they were Furlong s former students at Immaculata Elementary School from 1969 told the Georgia Straight, a weekly newspaper in Vancouver, that the now-celebrated Canadian abused them mentally and physically, according to CTV. I want you to know I categorically deny absolutely any wrongdoing and I believe that the RCMP in looking into this matter will discredit the complaint entirely because it just did not happen, Furlong told reporters at a news conference in Vancouver Thursday afternoon. Read John Furlong's full statement John Furlong, the former CEO of the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Winter Olympics, is denying allegations that he abused First Nations students four decades ago at a Catholic school in Burns Lake, B.C. and says he will sue the newspaper that published them.
