Summary

This document is an email chain between BuzzFeed News reporter Peter Aldhous and physicist Dr. Lawrence Krauss regarding allegations of sexual harassment. Aldhous challenges Krauss's previous assertion that university investigations (by ASU and ANU) found the claims to be fabricated. In the response (top half), Krauss defends himself, detailing that the complaints were anonymous, that the alleged victim never complained, and that the universities cleared him of wrongdoing regarding a specific 'selfie' incident in November 2016.
