Trudeau groped a woman, wellll, not according to his recollection.
Seems sexual misconduct is not unusual in the Liberal ranks, and military, but, he's special and can be excused.
"The woman who accused Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of groping her at a music festival almost two decades ago has identified herself.
Rose Knight issued a statement Friday, according to the Associated Press, that confirms she was the young reporter who accused Trudeau, then a 28-year-old teacher, of groping her as she tried to interview him at the Kokanee Summit Festival in 2000.
Trudeau denied the allegations, which were first published 18 years ago in an unsigned editorial published in the Creston Valley Advance, when they were unearthed earlier this summer. He said he did not remember anything like that happening at the time, a position he echoed after Knight released her statement Friday."

"But the old editorial claims that Trudeau apologized for the alleged groping, and quotes him as saying, “If I had known you were reporting for a national paper, I never would have been so forward.” Knight also maintains in the new statement that Trudeau apologized to her at the time, according to AP."
