British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon resigned on Wednesday after allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. In his resignation letter to Prime Minister Theresa May, Fallon said that while “many of these [allegations] have been false,” he has “fallen short of the high standards” expected by the British armed forces. Yesterday a spokesperson for Fallon confirmed that journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer once rebuked Fallon for placing his hand on her knee during a dinner in 2002.
