Sex fiend Clement Freud in ‘lunge at repulsed student’ as fourth woman makes abuse claim

A FOURTH woman has come forward to say she was sexually assaulted by Sir Clement Freud.

Rosemary Rimmer-Clay, 62, said she felt “repulsed, numb and shocked” after Freud “lunged” at her when she was a 19-year-old student at Dundee University in 1975.

Ms Rimmer-Clay said she met the former MP, who was a “hero” of hers, at a Burns night supper 41 years ago and he invited her to go for a coffee.

As Freud was the rector of her university, she said she “didn’t see anything sinister in it” and then invited him back to her flat.

But once there, Ms Rimmer-Clay alleges the former broadcaster cooked her an omelette, which she thought was “odd” and now believes it was a “kind of ritual” after he watched her eat it, before lunging at her.

After telling him she wasn’t interested, he asked for a hug and only backed off when she told him of a personal connection they shared.

Speaking to ITV, she said: “I said to him this is not a good idea, my sister teaches your daughter.

“He was horrified and he kind of backed off and then he came in a little bit again and said at least give me a kiss, and I was thinking this is vile I don’t want to give him a kiss but he had me in a corner.

“And then he gave me this horrible slobbery kiss with his tongue and literally I had never been kissed by anyone. And I thought it was a really horrible experience.

“He was a very cold person, there was nothing kind of fun, or happy about him, he was just going to get this thing that he wanted, it was a power thing really.”

Ms Rimmer-Clay never reported the incident to Dundee University or the police, but the university are now looking over their records from Freud’s time there.

Last week, ITV News spoke to three other women who also said Freud abused them when they were young girls.

His widow, Lady Freud, has apologised to his victims.
