BY LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry WestenOTTAWA, January 20, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - It has been confirmed that a call which came in to a televised all candidates forum Tuesday falsely accusing Conservative incumbent MP Maurice Vellacott of sexual assault, was made from the campaign office of Liberal candidate Chris Axworthy. After LifeSiteNews.com broke the story yesterday ( here: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/jan/06011901.html ), a flurry of mainstream media pressure forced Saskatoon Shaw Cable to allow a reporter from the local paper, the Star Phoenix, to view the tape of the program.On the tape a caller can be heard asking Vellacott “Were you also removed from (a local church) because you were charged with sexual assault on your secretary?” Shaw Cable also confirmed that the number where the slanderous call originated was (306) 956-2570 - the main phone number of Axworthy’s campaign office.Axworthy, once assured that the call display did in fact finger his office, issued an apology but included with it his (conspiracy) theory suggesting some troublemaker had snuck into his campaign office to make the slanderous phone call.ÂAxworthy said he would launch an investigation and ensure that if the slander was committed by a Liberal staffer, the individual would be removed from the campaign.ÂFor his part, Vellacott said that he is used to sleazy campaign tactics, but that this attack was completely over the top.  Hear audio of the call:  REAL AUDIO versionhttp://www.lifesite.net/ldn/audio/vellacott.rm  Requires the free REAL Audio player which may be downloaded fromhttp://forms.real.com/netzip/getrde601.html?h=software-dl.real.com&dc=120119118&f=windows/RealPlayer10-5GOLD.exe&p=RealOne+Player&oem=dl&tagtype=ie&type=dlMP3 version http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/audio/vellacott.mp3  Requires the free Quicktime player available from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/confirmed-sexual-abuse-slander-call-came-from-liberal-campaign-office-hear-/
