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

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'.

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

The amount of people minimizing and defending this behavior is insane. Labour MPs saying on twitter 'good on him for admitting it' and such :umm2: Well yes, I guess its good in a way that he is taking responsibility, but it hardly makes him a saint given he is admitting gross behaviour.

They exchanged phone numbers

This is his personal life and he is wrong as to his behaviour,he has said so,he has stepped down from the charity posts.
While commendable in doing so,his admission of overstepping things with other Women is then fact and he has done wrong.

All this however has nothing to do with his Wife who lost her life by being so brutally murdered as she has.

The only people making issues of this are those casting unnecessary slurs and dragging her onto this.
Someone described her as being portrayed as the second Jesus.
Shocking and in the worst taste.

Then its tried to accuse the left of being inappropriate.
I really despair and get more sickened on here each day that passes now.

Sounds very much like you are trying to justify his behaviour and minimise the seriousness of these allegations :think:

Okay Kizzy to play devils advocate ,we all know men can be in a tricky situation if they get flirtatious with women they fancy . A woman won't face the same repercussions if a man isn't interested in them.

But Brendan has admitted he overstepped the line and clearly he harassed some women, who he wasn't even dating and he clearly didn't take no for an answer and kept pestering .

Not true at all in any organisation there is the same procedure in relation to equality and diversity as men :/

We don't know what happened, as there was no inquiry.. You've just cobbled that together from bits reported in the media.
He admitted his behaviour towards one woman was inappropriate that's all, and he stepped down at the time.

He has admitted his inappropriate behaviour publically made a conscious effort to show that it was a past mistake as noted by his friends, family, colleagues and MPs.

I don't know what is required here ... for him to wear a millstone of shame for the next 10yrs?
No! you can't run your dead wifes memorial any longer!!... You're not WORTHY! :/

Nobody is saying he should wear a millstone of shame :facepalm:, why are you defending him so much?. And I didn't say women don't get told off but it's not treated as serious as when a man is accused. And the reason this has come out more publicly is because of the Oxfam scandal .

And you know I'm right as majority of sexual harassment claims are against men, and people forget women sexually harass and overstep the line as well .
