Mr Pincher is already due to stand down as an MP atThe young parliamentary aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, toldhe was left “in shock” and unable to sleep for months after the now 53-year-old MP “forced his hands on him”.
“First he grabbed my arm, and I thought he had just lost his balance, I then removed his arm. He then groped me again. I then removed his arm again.“He then stroked my neck, and I was so shocked. I didn’t know what to think or say. I didn’t expect it. But also, there were so many people there, it’s an open place.”. A lot of people talk about these sorts of things happening to them by MPs and they are scared to come forward.
The Standards Committee, setting out the findings of its inquiry on Thursday, said that Mr Pincher’s conduct last summer was “completely inappropriate” and “profoundly damaging”, saying it amounted to an abuse of power.
