WASHINGTON - A former aide to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has in several media interviews accused him of sexually assaulting her nearly 30 years ago when he was a US senator, an assertion that Biden's campaign has strongly denied.
"He firmly believes that women have a right to be heard - and heard respectfully," the spokeswoman, Kate Bedingfield, said. Reade filed a police report in Washington, DC, last week about the accusation, according to news reports, although the statute of limitations for prosecution has expired. Reade, 56, was one of eight women who last year came forward to say Biden had hugged, kissed or touched them in ways that made them uncomfortable, though none accused him of sexual assault. She publicly accused him of the assault on a podcast in March.
