A veteran television reporter who left CTV after a woman accused him of lewd behaviour at the Ontario legislature was fired for repeated sexual misconduct involving young women, new court documents allege.

In an untested filing in Superior Court, CTV and its owner Bell Media say they began investigating complaints against Paul Bliss after a former freelancer, Bridget Brown, went public in January 2018 with accusations against him.

The document served on Tuesday was filed as part of a $7.5-million defamation lawsuit Bliss launched a year ago against CTV, Bell Media, Brown and others. Bliss claimed in his unproven suit that the network broadcast and published "false, malicious, irresponsible" stories about his suspension and subsequent departure from the network.

"...you admitted to consuming alcohol and repeatedly engaging in sexual activities, including intercourse, as recently as within the last year, after hours in the workplace," the letter states. "You also admitted to entering into romantic relationships with young women with whom you could exert some influence to assist them in their careers."

In her post, she alleged an unnamed but "award-winning" CTV reporter had shown her around and they ended up in his office at the legislature. There, she said, he began kissing her and pushing on the top of her head to signal he wanted oral sex. Brown said she told him she wasn't interested but he then exposed himself and performed a sex act in front of her.
