INTERESTING INDEED
"Maltby has told the inquiry she believes Green appeared to solicit sex from her in exchange for political mentoring. She declined to comment yesterday, with the investigation into Green due to be released in the coming days.
In a piece for the Times, which prompted the inquiry, Maltby said she met Green in a London pub, where she said the MP offered to help her take steps towards becoming a Conservative candidate. She alleged that Green had touched her knee during the meeting, as he mentioned that his own wife was "very understanding".
Maltby described a conversation that she said touched on affairs of acquaintances, then she said she "felt a fleeting hand against my knee - so brief it was almost deniable".
The activist said she avoided Green after their encounter but,
in 2016, subsequently wrote a piece for the Times where she was pictured wearing a corset. Green then texted her, unprompted, she said, saying: "Long time no see. But having admired you in a corset in my favourite tabloid, I feel impelled to ask if you are free for a drink anytime?"
