Franken: I 'crossed the line' for some women

"I'm someone who, you know, hugs people," Franken said during an interview with Minnesota Public Radio.

"I've learned from these stories that in some of these encounters I have crossed the line for some women."

Franken has been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct.

Earlier this month, a woman alleged Franken groped and forcibly kissed her.

Other women have come forward alleging that Franken inappropriately touched them during photo ops.

Franken apologized for his behavior and said he would cooperate fully with an ethics investigation.

Multiple people have come forward in recent weeks with allegations of sexual misconduct against several public figures.
