Summary
This document is a draft email written by Lawrence Krauss on December 10, 2017, responding to a reporter or investigator regarding multiple allegations of sexual harassment. Krauss categorically denies the allegations, offering specific rebuttals to numbered 'items,' including a 2006 hotel encounter he claims was consensual and stopped politely, and a complaint by a former student at Case Western Reserve University which he claims was resolved informally with no finding of harassment. He argues that his high profile invites scrutiny but asserts his behavior has always been professional.
