Woman in alleged Quebec Liberal sex assault says Sklavounos should resign
MONTREAL — The woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by a Liberal member of the Quebec legislature says his career is not as important as what she had to endure.
Alice Paquet told Radio-Canada she was assaulted twice by Gerry Sklavounos, a longtime member of the national assembly who stepped down from the Liberal caucus Thursday to sit as an Independent after the allegations surfaced.
None of the allegations have been proven and Sklavounos, who has denied the accusations, is not facing any criminal charges.
“He sexually assaulted me,” she said in the Radio-Canada interview. “It’s his career, that’s true, and it’s a lot. But is his career worth more than what I lived through? That’s the question I asked myself, and … no (is the answer).”
