I get the impression it's more than an "uninvited hug" or a "hand on the knee" , but who knows . As we all know things can be taken the wrong way  . Maybe he didn't take no for an answer and kept pestering them ? .
In the news there's been so many allegations about people in the public eye, and some are true but others are blown out of proportion , it's got to the stage where if a guy said something as a joke towards a woman 30 years ago he will now be in trouble for "sexual harassment"  . |
It is claimed that Mr Cox drunkenly harassed a female employee at the charity in London, forcing her against a wall outside a bar, holding her by the throat and telling her: 'I want to ******* you.'
The incident led to him being forced to leave the charity in 2015. Save The Children's chief executive Justin Forsyth, a close friend of Mr Cox and former aide to Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown, resigned four months later.
Astonishingly, one month after Mr Cox left the charity, a senior female US Government official told police Mr Cox had carried out a similar alleged assault on her at Harvard University in America – as this newspaper revealed last week. The woman was unaware of the Save The Children incident at the time.

Some colleagues say he had a reputation for pestering women for sex. 'It wasn't comfortable being on duty alone with him,' said one.
'He would buy women drinks, his hands were everywhere. Everyone knew it was going on, but he was best friends with the boss.'
Matters came to a head after a Save The Children drinks party in July 2015. 'Brendan was dancing provocatively with a woman who told him to leave her alone,' said one source. 'She joined a group of women who went on to a bar. Brendan followed them. He got her outside, pushed her against a wall and tried to force himself on her.'
...
This newspaper revealed last week how a woman, whose identity we withheld, complained to US police, accusing Mr Cox of sexual assault while there.
By her account, he cornered her in a bar, plied her with drink, 'grabbed her by the hips, pulled her hair, forced his thumb into her mouth in a sexual way' and later sent her obscene text messages. Police filed her complaint as 'assault and battery', but she told them not to take further action because she 'feared repercussions'.
