TVO's The Agenda host Steve Paikin responded to allegations of sexual harassment, mounted by formal mayoral candidate Sarah Thomson, on Tuesday, calling them "100 per cent false." Paikin's statement comes on the heels of TVO announcing it would not be removing him from his role amidst an investigation. Thomson wrote that she replied she would never do that and then excused herself to call her campaign manager. "I did not have sex, suggest, request, imply, or joke about having sex with you ... you've defamed me," alleges Paikin. Thomson also responded to a follower in a tweet asking them to send her strength amidst the allegations against Paikin.
