The woman who accused Canadian PM Justin Trudeau 18-years-ago of groping her says she stands by her account.
She released a statement today to CBC News, her first public comment on the allegations that resurfaced over a month ago.
She said the incident, described in August 2000 in an editorial in a local newspaper "did occur, as reported".
Trudeau has denied any wrongdoing, saying he is confident he did "not act inappropriately".
The woman was a journalist at the time and covering an event attended by Trudeau.
The editorial and its allegations resurfaced after a blogger posted an image of the article on Twitter in June.
