Another accuses Bush 41 of inappropri­ate touching

-

HOUSTON — Another woman has stepped forward to accuse former President George H.W. Bush of inappropri­ately touching her.

Roslyn Corrigan told Time magazine that she was 16 when Bush grabbed her buttocks as she posed for a photo with him in 2003 at a gathering of CIA officers north of Houston. She attended the event with her mother and father, who was an intelligen­ce analyst.

“My initial action was absolute horror. I was really, really confused,” she told the magazine. “The first thing I did was look at my mom, and while he was still standing there, I didn’t say anything. What does a teenager say to the ex-president of the United States? Like, ‘Hey, dude, you shouldn’t have touched me like that?’”

A spokesman for the 41st president, Jim Mcgrath, said in a statement Monday that Bush regrets any offensive actions.
