London: A British journalist has accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of groping her while sitting next to her at a private lunch in 1999, an allegation denied by Downing Street as “untrue”.
Charlotte Edwardes, the assistant editor of The Sunday Times, wrote in a column for the daily that Johnson – who was the editor of the Spectator magazine at the time – grabbed “enough inner flesh beneath his fingers” to make her “sit upright”.
She claimed that he did the same thing to another woman at the same function.
“More wine is poured; more wine is drunk. Under the table I feel Johnson’s hand on my thigh. He gives it a squeeze,” Edwardes wrote.
“His hand is high up my leg and he has enough inner flesh beneath his fingers to make me sit suddenly upright.” She said that her usual reaction would have been to confront Johnson, but she stayed silent as it was a “work situation”.
