Now it’s #UNtoo!

Adviser: Top official groped me

A UN employee has accused a top organization official of grabbing her in a hotel elevator, forcibly kissing her and trying to drag her into his room during a 2015 conference.

Martina Brostrom (inset, near right), a policy adviser at UNAIDS, the UN’s global AIDS program, told CNN she was offered a promotion if she accepted an apology from Luiz Loures (far right), an assistant secretary-general.

“I was pleading with him, and I was just bracing with all that I could just to not leave the elevator,” Brostrom said.

Loures has denied the allegations, saying he cooperated during a 14month probe that concluded that the claims were unsubstantiated.

According to the UN, Loures, who also was deputy executive director of UNAIDS, decided to leave the organizations at the end of his contract this week.

A spokesman for UNAIDS said the probe into the allegations followed “due process,” and that Brostrom may appeal.

But Brostrom — one of three women to describe similar encounters with Loures — slammed the investigation as “deeply flawed.”

Another woman, Malayah Harper, told the network that Lou- res assaulted her in a very similar way at a hotel in 2014. A third woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described an assault a few years ago.

By the time Brostrom arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, for the May 2015 conference, she said, she already knew to be careful of Loures.

He would “let his hand slide, you know, over your hair and sort of hold you behind the neck,” she said.

At the conference, she said, she and Loures got into the hotel elevator, where he lunged at her.

“The elevator door opens and he tries to forcefully pull me out of the elevator — drag me towards the corridor of his room. He says, ‘ Come, come in my room,’ ” she said.

“I’m pushed towards the wall. He starts shoving his tongue into my mouth, trying to kiss me,” Brostrom told CNN. “And he is groping my body, including my breasts.”

She managed to hold him off, she said, running back into the elevator and to her own room.

Brostrom said she did not immediately file a formal complaint because she was afraid her allegations would be ignored — or that she could face retaliation.

Brostrom told CNN that she has been on paid sick leave more or less continuously since April 2017.
