Former United States President George HW Bush apologized to actress Heather Lind on Wednesday after she denounced having been groped by the former president in a public act four years ago.

"President Bush would never, under any circumstances, intentionally cause suffering to anyone," former President Jim McGrath's spokesman said in a statement. "You offer your sincerest apologies for that joke that offended Ms. Lind."

The actress of the series Turn: Washington Spies (AMC) shared this week on her Instagram account several messages, which she later deleted, in which she claimed that Bush, 93, attacked her during an act to promote the historic television series. in which he worked. "She sexually assaulted me when I was posing for a photo," she said.

Lind explained that instead of shaking hands, the former president "touched her from behind in his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush at his side" and made an obscene joke. Not satisfied yet, according to the actress, Bush touched her a second time, something that did not go unnoticed by his wife, who rolled her eyes "as if saying not again."

In addition, the security team warned him that "he should not have stopped next to the former president for the photo," he said.

They asked us to call him Mr. President. It seems to me that the power of a president should be used for positive change, to help people in fact, and to serve as a symbol of democracy… He gave up that power when he used it against me, and judging by the comments of the the rest of us who were there, used it against other women before,”said the actress.
