“The investigator found that the allegations were not substantiated and Mr. Paikin did not violate TVO policies. TVO journalist Steve Paikin has been cleared of an allegation that he made an inappropriate sexual comment to a Toronto mayoral candidate during a business lunch in 2010. Thomson had alleged that Paikin had sexually propositioned her during a 2010 lunch. “I went to great lengths when I wrote about my #metoo story to make sure that even the media would not be able to identify (Paikin),” Thomson wrote Friday, referring to the allegation she posted on her website Feb. 2. Her complaint also alleged that after she rebuffed Paikin in 2010, he prevented her from appearing on his current affairs show, The Agenda.
