The Issue Of Sexual Harassment Of Candidates For Defense In Trump's Cabinet, Allegedly Forcing Women To 'Purpose' At Hotels

JAKARTA - Secretary of Defense (Menhan) Candidate for President Donald Trump's Administration, Pete Hegseth, is involved in a sexual harassment case against a woman.

Based on a police investigation report quoted by CBN News, Saturday, November 23, this sexual harassment allegedly occurred in 2017.

Hegseth allegedly forced the alleged woman to 'familiar' with him. When the two were in the room at the hotel, Hegseth was accused of making a number of efforts so that the woman could stay with him.

The police investigation report said Hegseth admitted that he was with the woman in the hotel room based on consensual feelings. He denied any element of coercion.

This issue surfaced last week when local officials released a brief statement confirming that a woman had accused Hegseth of sexually assaulting in October 2017.

The incident was carried out after Hegseth gave a speech at a special woman event in Monterey held by the Republican Party.

Until now, Hegseth's lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, has not responded to the allegations.

22 pages of police reports related to this issue were obtained by a number of media including Mediaite and CBS News containing public records and detailed details about what allegedly happened to the woman contradicting the version of the Hegseth version of the incident.

Police interviews with the alleged victim, a hospital nurse who handled the victim, a hotel staff member, another woman at the event, and Hegseth, were in the report.

A spokesman for the Trump Administration said the incident had been investigated by the police and no charges were filed against Hegseth resulting in an abortion.

However, the police recommended that case reports be forwarded to the Monterey County District Attorney's Office for review.
