Summary

The text discusses specific investigations by Arizona State University (ASU) and Australian National University (ANU) regarding a 'selfie' incident in November 2016, where a third party alleged Krauss touched a woman's breast; Krauss denies the claim, citing university reports that found no evidence of physical contact. The document includes a forwarded email from Aldhous dated December 10, 2017, requesting an interview.
