Former Lib Dem chief executive Lord Rennard has said he received no complaints about his behaviour during 27 years in the party.
Several women have come forward to accuse him of inappropriately touching and propositioning female party workers.
A new statement issued on his behalf said he "refutes" the allegations and will "co-operate with any properly constituted inquiry".
It added: "He would reiterate that in 27 years of working for the Liberal Democrats he received no complaint or allegation about his behaviour.
"Nor is he aware of any personal complaints being made in the three and a half years since he stood down as chief executive until last week."
Scotland Yard announced on Monday that they will meet with party officials to discuss the allegations.
Earlier Mr Clegg said the police must be allowed to do their job and insisted he would not provide a "running commentary" on the allegations.
Speaking outside his home in south west London, he told Sky News: "I understand there are many people who appear to want to act as self-appointed detectives trying to piece together events that happened many years ago but the only way that we are going to get to the bottom of the truth ... is by allowing the two investigations that I established immediately after the Channel 4 broadcast to do their job and, indeed, to allow the police, whom we have now approached, to do their job as well.
"And in the meantime I cannot and my party cannot provide a running commentary on every shred of speculation about events which happened many years ago."
Lord Rennard's statement made no reference to the police's involvement.
