Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. texted an apology to his family’s former babysitter, Eliza Cooney, who accused him of assault.

In a Vanity Fair article, Cooney claimed that Kennedy engaged in inappropriate behavior in the 1990s, like rubbing her leg, reading her diary, asking her to rub lotion on his back, trapping her against the pantry door and groping her on different occasions.

Reporters confirmed that the texts came from the independent presidential candidate’s cellphone number using TLOxp, a service offering public and proprietary data.

“Hey Eliza,” he wrote in his first text to Eliza, which was sent on July 10. “It’s Bobby Kennedy. I hope you are well. Please call me if you have a moment.”

Kennedy followed up on Thursday with a second message, saying he had no memory of the supposed assault but still stated that he feels regret if he caused Cooney harm.
