Norton, who at the time was responding to a Facebook post by an individual, said that he has already spoken to his lawyers about taking legal action even as he described the post as being “malicious and false”.

Denying the allegations outright on a short video released, Norton said at no time was he alone in a vehicle with the alleged victim (whom he named and who was named in the Facebook post).

“All of these claims are false and malicious,” the party leader said while calling on the alleged victim and an associate named in the Facebook post to speak on the issue “since failure to do so may suggest they are complicit in this false and malicious post”.

He added: “May I also state that I see it as part of a political plot since I have out-nominated my contenders and [the name of the individual who made the post] is known to be campaigning for one of the persons contending in these elections. I repeat to all Guyanese, at no stage was I ever involved in sexually harassing anybody in this country or overseas”.
