The worst they can find about the report is that Al said he was accompanied at all times while the accuser says when the second photo was taken Colm Hayes wasn't there. It was at the entrance to a hospital though with at least a photographer present. Colm Hayes goes off for two minuters which allows Al to embark on a gropey rampage around a psychiatric hospital which must have been his plan all along when he agreed to go as part of a mental health awareness week.

A former hospital patient, in his mid-20s, had accused the comedian of putting his hands on his crotch and kissing him on the mouth. The investigation concluded that “the absence of appropriate boundaries” in Porter’s contact with the patient “did cause the complainant to feel uncomfortable”.In a statement Porter said he was pleased with the probe’s findings. He said: “I accept the report conclusion. That physical contact (a hand on the back and chest) during a conversation made the complainant uncomfortable. “And later that day physical contact (a hand on his shoulder and a kiss on the cheek), my standard photo pose, for a photo he requested, made the complainant uncomfortable again. I regret that.”
