Summary
Liberal MP Moira Deeming claims Matthew Guy put her in a headlock, leading to a police investigation that found no offense—but she’s not backing down. Her lawyer says she acted in good faith, misinterpreting the term “headlock” after seeing footage later, which showed Guy placing his hand on her back and pulling her close. Deeming insists the contact felt unwanted, painful, and frightening. Guy demands a public apology, citing the police’s decision as vindication—but Deeming’s team refuses to apologize, arguing the lack of charges doesn’t mean her complaint was false.
