“Due to my contractual obligations to keep the nature and details of the investigation confidential, there are a number of things I would like to say but am not currently able to talk about without risking my job.
“I appreciate at this time there is a lot of speculation about my conduct and I am able to tell you that I am confident that none of my behaviour has been unlawful, and that I have not engaged in sexual activity with anyone, or in the view of anyone, without their consent.
“I intend to engage cooperatively with NUS’ investigation and I hope I should be in a position to talk about the situation in full to the communities that I am accountable to.
“This statement is all I am going to say on this matter until the NUS investigation is completed.”
A spokeswoman for the NUS said: “As a result of allegations against NUS trans officer Jess Bradley, she has been suspended pending an investigation.
“The matters pertaining to the investigation are confidential to allow for a fair and impartial process.
“NUS will continue to support Jess, full time officers, staff and volunteers during this time.”
