Assault allegations
In March 2016 a national newspaper alleged Harris had assaulted a member of her office staff in November 2014. The staff member claimed it was because she had come out as a lesbian because she also called her "dyke shoes". Harris denied the claims and blamed it on 'town hall politics'.[2]
Murder
On 16 July 2016, Carolyn was supposedly killed by her son, Tom Harris. Harris was subsequently arrested but denied the allegation and was released without charge. He commented "I loved the woman, it's absolute bulls***".
