Now ask yourself, why has this been revisited now?
Why at a time when public confidence in charity work and in particular those associated with foreign aid and now these that deal with stemming the rise of the far right in they UK are they being 'exposed'?

Hmmm His boss went at the same time, strangely they were both Labour supporters fighting against govt cuts...

'Backed by Mr Cox, Mr Forsyth ordered a highly emotive multi-million pound TV advertising blitz. The ‘It Shouldn’t Happen Here’ campaign claimed 1.6 million British children were growing up in ‘severe poverty’. Tory MPs said it was a ‘crude political campaign against Government cuts.’

he wasn't sacked he voluntarily stepped down, I know what that tells me.

The allegations made in 2015 were addressed and reported on, my post was to query why they had been reported on...again.

The father-of-two said some of the allegations against him were a "massive exaggeration", but conceded that he had at times "overstepped the line".

In 2015 the Mail on Sunday reported that Brendan Cox had stepped down from his position as chief strategist at Save the Children over allegations of "inappropriate behaviour" which he at the time denied.

More details of Mr Cox's alleged behaviour emerged after Oxfam issued its own apology over a sex scandal involving aid workers in Haiti.

There aren't any more details... they are the same details.
There is nothing in the 2018 report that isn't in the 2015 report.

it's all part of this all to common theme these days that anyone associated with the labour party couldn't ever have possibly done something wrong

[Cherie]

I would imagine it has been revisited given recent events? Weinstein, MPs of both parties being accused of sexual harassment, Oxfam, it's a news story that is not going to go away

So a 2yr old story is revisited based on an unsubstantiated accusation that overshadows the other story in the media which was the 'paradise club' expose where women were routinely groped during the event at which they were working...
Does that not smack of a double standard to you?

I read the BBC article and it said new info had arisen. YOu obviously missed that one and dont seem to be able to state why he took 3 years to resign (or should I say be advised to resign)

I also expect the Mail have more dirt on him as they will want to release more this Sunday

Has an allegation been made against a particular person who attended?

[LeatherTrumpet]

I don't know the ins and outs of the case Cherie, we know what the media reports as with this issue that isn't very much, but the reactions are very different.

The husband of the murdered MP Jo Cox has resigned from the two charities he set up in her memory after being publicly accused of sexual assault.

Brendan Cox has stepped down from his posts at More in Common and the Jo Cox Foundation after allegations, printed in the Mail on Sunday, that he had assaulted a woman in her 30s at Harvard University in 2015. Police filed her complaint as assault and battery but action against him was dropped.

Cox denied the claims in a statement issued on Saturday but admitted making mistakes in a previous role with the charity Save the Children.

I cant believe he set up a charity for his dead wife after this?

An investigation could still be done in his absence, him not being there is not an issue. Should it be warranted then that would take place regardless.

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'.

See the article I read had none of this information , I knew it was far serious that some people thought .

He only denied 1 incident as well,which means he pretty much did all of this still . I don't think his wife would of known . The fact he's admitted he's overstepped the line just shows he's guilty .

i think his wife was alive when he first resigned from that charity. So it's not something brought on by grief
