A deputy speaker of France's parliament has resigned after becoming the latest politician to face sexual harassment allegations, although he vehemently denies the claims. Denis Baupin, a former member of the ecologist EELV party who is married to Housing Minister Emmanuelle Cosse, plans to sue the women for defamation, his lawyer Emmanuel Pierrat said. "Sexual harassment and even more so sexual aggression are totally foreign" to the 41-year-old Baupin, one of parliament's six deputy speakers, the lawyer added.
