George H. W. Bush Groped Woman During '92 Campaign: CNN

WASHINGTON, DC — A new woman came forward Thursday to accuse former President George H. W. Bush of grabbing her inappropriately during a photoshoot the midst of the 1992 presidential campaign, CNN reported. Her voice joins those of at least six others who have made similar allegations against the ex-president, but the new charge is the only one that reportedly occurred during his time in office.

"We got closer together for a family photo and it was like 'Holy crap!'" the woman, whose name has not been revealed, told CNN. She said she was at a fundraiser for the campaign with her father and was taking a photo alongside the president when he grabbed her butt. "It was like a gentle squeeze."

The other women who have come forward about being grabbed by the former president had said the events occurred long after his presidency. Given Bush's advancing years — he's 93 — and his diagnosis with a condition similar to Parkinson's disease, some have downplayed the reports of his sexual misconduct.

"All the focus has been on 'He's old.' OK, but he wasn't old when it happened to me," the woman told CNN.
