Three more women have reportedly accused former government adviser Daniel Korski of sexual misconduct.

Korski, who is Jewish, pulled out of the race for the Tory nomination for London mayor in June after TV producer Daisy Goodwin accused him of sexually assaulting her during a meeting in Downing Street a decade ago.

This week, three other women spoke to the Financial Times with fresh allegations. 

The most serious of the new claims come from a senior government official, who wished to remain anonymous. She told the FT about an incident of sexual misconduct that she said took place more than 10 years ago.

The two other new claims related to separate claims of inappropriate touching by Korski.

Korski denies what he calls "baseless" allegations. A statement he gave when he withdrew from the mayoral race said: "Nothing was ever put to me formally ten years ago. Nor seven years ago when the allegation was alluded to. 

“No investigation has ever taken place. I have been clear I would welcome and constructively participate in any investigation.”

Korski continued: “However, the pressure on my family because of this false and unproven allegation and the inability to get a hearing for my message of 'The London Dream' makes it impossible for my campaign to carry on.

He was contacted for comment.
