A group of MEPs is demanding an external probe into allegations of sexual harassment at the European Parliament following a report of abuse of young female staffers in the Sunday Times newspaper. The article described the European Parliament as a 'hotbed of sex harassment' following revelations that a number of male senior MEPs had abused around a dozen female aides. The demand for an external investigation from five MEPs also calls for a special committee on sexual harassment to help the victims and ensure the assailants are brought to justice.
