Deputy PM Clegg admits serious mistakes in scandal

Clegg repeated his insistence that he was unaware of allegations of sexual harassment by several female party workers against former Lib Dem chief executive Lord Chris Rennard until they emerged last week.

But he conceded that rumors about the behavior of Rennard — who strongly denies groping the women — had been “in the background” of the peer's resignation due to ill health in 2009.

“There were some very serious mistakes and the women were not listened to and were let down,” Clegg said during his weekly phone-in on a London radio station.
