A sixth woman has claimed she was groped by George HW Bush, describing an incident when she was just 16 years old.

The former US president has already apologised after numerous reports that he inappropriately touched women while posing for photographs with them at public events.

Roslyn Corrigan said she posed for a photo with Mr Bush in 2003 at a gathering of CIA officers in Texas. She was just 16 years old at the time and attended the event with her mother and father, who was an intelligence analyst.

But while she stood for the picture with Mr Bush and her mother, the former president squeezed her bottom, Ms Corrigan told Time Magazine.

"He dropped his hands from my waist down to my buttocks and gave it a nice, ripe squeeze, which would account for the fact that in the photograph my mouth is hanging wide open,” she said.
