The British prime minister's office says it is treating with "utmost seriousness" a television producer's allegation that she was sexually assaulted inside 10 Downing St, the official office for Britain's leader.
Daisy Goodwin, who created royal period drama "Victoria," says a government official groped her breast while she was visiting Downing St to discuss a proposed television program.
She says she did not report the incident, which happened during the 2010-2016 administration of Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron.
