One of Macron's "star activists" has been charged with sexual assault

Another blow to Emmanuel Macron's image has just turned up in the form of one of his aides:

A “star” activist and parliamentary attaché of French President Emmanuel Macron’s Republic on the March party (LREM) has been accused of sexual assault by a female French parliament aide, forcing him to resign from his position.

The man accused is Morgan Simon, an activist for Macron’s presidential campaign who “stole the show” during Macron’s victory speech in front of the Louvre museum on May 7th becoming known as ‘the guy in the cap”.

Simon is accused of sexually assaulting a fellow activist during a meeting between members of Macron’s En Marche movement and its youth chapter Youth with Macron (JAM) in December of last year, L’Express reports.

Tsk tsk tsk. And this is all during the month Harvey Weinstein's scandal has opened a floodgate of accusations of sexual assault in Hollywood. This'll hopefully spell more trouble for Macron so long as he maintains any bad policies. It certainly proves he's no cleaner than any other politician in the field.
