Kim Craitor resign in 2013 over sexual harassment complaint

First Published:

Premier Kathleen Wynne confirming this afternoon that former Niagara Falls MPP Kim Craitor resigned in 2013 after allegations of sexual harassment.

Wynne says in 2013 her staff received complaints about Craitor and an investigation by an independent person was launched. Wynne says when the issue was brought to the Niagara Falls MPP’s attention  he said he would resign his seat if his conduct was found sufficiently serious. When he initially resigned we were told it was for family and health reasons.

Craitor is currently a Niagara Falls city councillor. We called and emailed him this afternoon to get his side of the story but have not heard back.
