“The rumors are false.
I can’t accept the portrayal of me as someone bigoted, or criminally negligent of people’s safety.
These are the kind of baseless, harmful claims that can create mistrust toward victims,” he continued.
“It’s very distressing to know that this misinformation has upset people.”
Harassment of my family, friends and coworkers needs to stop kindly.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.”
