Alex Salmond says there was 'no policy' stopping him working alone with women
Alex Salmond has claimed that sexual assault allegations against him are either"deliberate fabrications for a political purpose" or"exaggerations".
Mr Salmond was cleared of a further charge of sexual assault against a 10th woman after it was dropped by the Crown when the prosecution case ended on Monday afternoon.Giving evidence in his own defence on Tuesday morning, Mr Salmond was asked by his lawyer Gordon Jackson QC about some of the specific charges against him.
He also said he had once stroked her face after she fell asleep in his car during a foreign trip, but said he had just wanted to gently wake her up. "I'm of the opinion that events are being reinterpreted and exaggerated out of any possible proportion."
