Rajendra Pachauri: third woman accuses ex-IPCC chair of sexual advances

Former employee of The Energy and Resources Institute alleges she was 'scared of Pachauri's motives'

A third woman has claimed she was sexually harassed by the former head of the UN climate change panel, Rajendra Pachauri, who is charged with sexually harassing, stalking and intimidating a female employee.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said on Thursday she had decided to make a public statement after reading an article in the Observer in which Pachauri denied the allegations against him claiming his email account had been hacked and the claims were a conspiracy to defame him.
