Ambassador Larome said the French Embassy here learned of the incident with utmost surprise. However, the two ladies accused the Ambassador of refusing to pay them after they have satisfied him sexually.
"First of all, the name of the Ambassador of France is not Jacques Gerard as carried in some of papers, but Gerard Larome.
Jacques Gerard was my predecessor and he left in August 2009", the French envoy clarified Tuesday during a press conference held at the embassy. According to him, the information contained in the papers is false, baseless, and has no iota of it. "It's an entirely made-up story, a complete fabrication.
The Ambassador does not, I repeat, does not go to Red Lion, therefore, he cannot be the one to have taken too much of liquor, nor the one to be drunk as stated in the papers.
The manager of Red Lion and other workers can attest to that, also all the customers of Red Lion, who know the Ambassador, can attest to it. I do not go to Red Lion", Ambassador Larome explained.
The Ambassador said he has never seen these women before, neither has he had sexual intercourse with any Liberian women whether in Liberia nor out of the country adding, "This story, I guess is the work of detractors.
This is grave and it affects the dignity of a human being, the private life of the Ambassador, but also the image of the Republic of France, an image voluntarily being damaged by some journalists for reasons best known to them", he maintained.
