Ontario Liberal MP says he’s been cleared in incident at Halifax bar
HALIFAX — An Ontario Liberal MP who was accused of sexual assault during a visit to a Halifax bar during the party’s recent policy convention says his name has been cleared.
Francis Drouin, who represents the eastern Ontario riding of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, said in a statement Tuesday that Halifax police have determined the matter is closed.
“I am pleased it has been resolved based on the facts. I have no further comment,” Drouin said in the statement.
Last month, police confirmed they were investigating a report that a woman had been sexually assaulted at the Halifax Alehouse on April 21, but did not specifically name Drouin.
