“Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax fired back against allegations of sexual assault Monday morning.

Fairfax’s office released a statement on Twitter saying in part, “Tonight, an online publication released a false and unsubstantiated allegation against Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax.”

The statement addressed allegations that were sent to the Washington Post more than a year ago during the time of Fairfax’s inauguration. The Post proceeded to investigate the claims presented and ultimately denied to publish the story due to inconsistant statements.

Fairfax’s team said they believe the allegations come as a part of “sad and dark politics.”

The statement goes on to say Faixfax has dedicated himself to helping Virginia and the nation rise above.

Fairfax plans to take legal action against those spreading the defamatory and false allegations.”
