The husband of murdered MP Jo Cox, Brendan Cox, has quit two charities he set up in her memory after allegations of sexual assault were made public.

Mr Cox denied assaulting a woman in her 30s at Harvard University in 2015 - but admitted to "inappropriate" behaviour while working for Save the Children.

He has left posts at More in Common and the Jo Cox Foundation a week after the*Mail on Sunday*published the claims.

Mr Cox apologised for the "hurt and offence" caused by his past behaviour.

Tbh I've always found this man quite unlikeable in how he used every opportunity to appear in the media as the voice of the righteous, been rumours about his behaviour for a long time and was always clear he wasn't the squeaky clean person he portrayed himself as

There's loads of people called Brendan what about Brendan Cole Strictly , his name has nothing to do with it so let's not be silly .

However after the horrible death of his poor wife I am taken aback by this, remember feeling so sorry for him . And he was campaigning and trying to keep her work alive . And he was always in the media trying to stay positive and have hope .

Now he's been revealed as some sexual harasser , when he should of been helping charities instead of helping himself .

Apparently everyone in Westminster and the media knew about him.

Could I have an explanation of why you have concluded the husband of a murdered MP is the 'most moral man ever'?

Because we all had sympathy for him, nobody expected a saint but it's shocking to hear this about him after he was supposed to be setting up charities in his late wife's name .

We judged him by his media appearances and assumed he was a decent guy ,and thought it was nice that he had hope and was campaigning and keeping Jo's memory alive . You don't exactly expect him to be sexually harassing people .

The whole Oxfam scandal has opened Pandora's box ,and people won't look at charities the same way again it's tainted them .

The allegation was prior to his the death of his wife, how does it affect his work with her charity foundation now?

Well it would appear we're only finding out now !?? that's why it affects it . I didn't know any of this until now.

Obviously you're going to look at someone differently if you find out something bad . But all we're being told according to that article is he "over stepped the line" and resigned from the charity because of it .

Maybe he'll go work for Oxfam.

[jaxie]

It's the kids I feel sorry for. What an example.

[Greg!]

Feel sorry for her kids, their mum's dead and their dad's a perv

[thesheriff443]

He apologised and stepped down, thats a lot more than most do, we will have to see if any other accusations follow.

[bitontheslide]

Sounds like a thoroughly unpleasant fella

[LeatherTrumpet]

Surely his wife must have know he was a sex pest?

vile

[smudgie]

What a shame, I am surprised more wasn’t made of it at the time, him being married to a politician.

She was just another politician at the time though, she wasn't the new Jesus yet.

[Cherie]

His surname is apt

Congrats on managing to find a take as gross as this one, I guess

'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.'

This sounds like a line from 50 shades... :/

What is it then, look at that rationally what is really happening in that scenario?

He saw her in a bar
He bought her a drink
They danced
They kissed
There was some sexual contact
They exchanged phone numbers
