An independent investigation found that on the balance of probabilities that Lopez groped Frederes in a lift and making unwanted advances such as attempting kiss her and blocking her from exiting his hotel room.
Frederes had been in his hotel room as the meeting rooms were closed at the time and alleged, "He was physically blocking me from leaving and that’s when he went in to hug me, and I just went to hug back to make it quick and leave," in both written and verbal accounts during the investigation.
Lopez "categorically denies" the allegations and results of the investigation.
He says, "I firmly and absolutely deny ever having touched or intimidated her in the manner which she alleges: none of the actions she described happened then, or on any other occasion."
Despite the allegations and investigation into his conduct, Lopez was initially able to keep his position at the university and continued to work there.
