Politician in gay sex pest scandal
THE man who holds the highest office in Australian politics has been accused of pestering a young male adviser for sex.
Federal Court papers claim Peter Slipper, Speaker of the Federal Parliament, sexually harassed James Ashby, 33.
They include explicit texts allegedly sent by married father-of-three and ordained priest Mr Slipper, 62. He denied the claims via Twitter yesterday.
He is also embroiled in claims he misused taxpayers’ money.
