Oxford professor ‘did a Weinstein’, says author

The governing body of St Hugh’s College, Oxford, has commissioned an investigation into the behaviour of a professor who died last year and who has since been accused of “doing a Weinstein”. Mel Mcgrath, 54, an author, said that Prof David Robertson had “an uncanny knack for scheduling a shower, at whatever time of day, just before I arrived. He’d open the door, as if innocently, dressed in his bathrobe and, one time, in a tiny towel . . . David sat opposite [me], half-naked and manspreading, often smelling of alcohol and sipping from a mug of what was never tea or coffee.” St Hugh’s confirmed the investigation, but refused to comment further.
