Justin Trudeau Denies Sexually Assaulting Reporter at Music Festival
While on tour to celebrate Canada Day this past Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denied groping a female reporter who tried to interview him almost two decades ago at the 2000 Kokanee Summit festival. Trudeau’s comments about the allegation of sexual misconduct came nearly a month after the incident was first brought to national attention by Canadian media in early June.
As the allegation of sexual assault against Trudeau finally percolated through the media, it did immense damage to the prime minister’s carefully crafted public persona as a crusader for women’s rights and a vanquisher of predatory men. Indeed, Trudeau has been one of the world’s most vocal supporters of the #MeToo movement and has staunchly supported its message that women’s allegations of sexual misconduct should always be believed
