Conservative London mayoral hopeful Daniel Korski has pulled out of the contest, after being accused of groping novelist and TV producer Daisy Goodwin.
, Ms Goodwin said Mr Korski - then a special adviser at 10 Downing Street - had put his hand on her breast.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she had not previously reported the incident because of attitudes at the time. In an interview with TalkTV on Tuesday, Mr Korski was asked about the possibility of further allegations, replying: "To the best of my knowledge, absolutely, I don't expect anybody to come out and say anything."
A campaigner to stay in the EU, he left Number 10 when David Cameron did after the Brexit referendum. He has previously worked for a think tank and as a journalist.
