The media has been criticized for leaking a years-old sexual assault allegation against Pete Hegseth, President Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary. In 2017, Monterey, California, police investigated an allegation made by a married woman named Jane Doe who claimed Pete Hegseth sexually assaulted her at a political event. However, no evidence was found to support her claims. Hegseth claimed the encounter was consensual.
Pete Hegseth's attorney Timothy Parlatore confirmed that the police found the allegations to be false. The 22-page police report revealed that Jane Doe, 30, was at the Hyatt Hotel in Monterey, California, on 10/7/17, attending a Republican women's conference. She remembers approaching Hegseth and commenting on his treatment of women. She then remembers him ejaculating on her stomach and Hegseth telling her to clean it up. Doe waited four days to go to the hospital for an exam after the incident.
Hegseth claimed the incident was consensual and that surveillance video showed Hegseth and Doe walking arm in arm. Hegseth told police that Doe led him out of the hotel bar and went back to his hotel room. Hegseth said that shortly after the two had unprotected sex, Doe had regrets and said she would tell her husband that she passed out on the couch.
Hegseth's lawyer Tim Parlatore stated that the police report confirmed that the incident was fully investigated and no charges were filed. Hegseth responded to reporters on Capitol Hill, saying that the matter was fully investigated and he was completely cleared.
