Novelist and TV Producer Accuses Conservative Mayor Candidate of Sexual Assault

Daisy Goodwin, a novelist and TV producer, has accused Daniel Korski, a Conservative mayoral hopeful, of groping her 10 years ago.

Ms. Goodwin alleges that Mr. Korski, who was a special adviser to David Cameron at the time, sexually assaulted her by putting his hand on her breast during a meeting at Downing Street.

Mr. Korski has denied the allegation in the "strongest possible terms." Ms. Goodwin says that she met Mr. Korski at a social event and he suggested they meet to discuss a proposed TV show.

During the meeting, she claims that Mr. Korski made flirtatious comments, put his feet on her chair and touched her breast when they stood up to leave.

Ms. Goodwin spoke about the alleged assault in 2017 but did not name Mr. Korski until now, as he is running to be the Tory candidate for mayor of London.
