An independent investigation has cleared a veteran journalist with Ontario's public broadcaster of sexual harassment allegations, saying Steve Paikin was more credible than the Toronto woman who made the accusations against him. "The investigator had doubts surrounding Thomson's ability to accurately observe and recount the events in question," the report said. Thomson's evidence also veered toward being exaggerated and untrue." Paikin, meanwhile, "was consistent in his evidence that he believes nothing of a sexual nature was said (or implied)," the report said. Further there is no evidence that Paikin attempted to interfere with or block a producer from booking Thomson on The Agenda," she wrote.
