'The allegation that has led to the charge that is out there is false and will be strongly challenged in court'

Mayor of Port Moody Rob Vagramov is seen in this undated handout photo from his mayoral facebook page.

Robert Vagramov said Thursday that preparing a defence will require his full attention as he fights the charge in court, so he has decided to take a leave of absence starting Friday. "When the allegation surfaced during the election campaign last year, I was horrified and taken completely by surprise. Now the tale grew as it was being told, and I want to be absolutely clear this allegation is false. I intend on fighting it every step of the way including filing a suit for defamation for this continued attack on my character.
