George H. W. Bush was the President of the United States from 1989 to 2003, between Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. In 2017, eight women accused him of groping them including one woman who said she was sixteen when he it happened.

His defenders point out that being in a wheelchair, his arm is at an awkward height for photos and he may just be putting his arm around someone as people do, but sitting, he’s too low and it’s perceived as groping. But one of the women said he groped her in 1992, the year he ran against Bill Clinton for president. In 2003, when he is said to have groped a sixteen-year-old, he was spinning around Kennebunkport on a Segway.
