Derek Myers alleges George Santos grabbed his groin without consent.
Myers spent a week volunteering in Santos’ congressional office last month, while hoping for permanent employment.
During this time, Myers alleges he faced “sexual assault,” and “sexual harassment,” from the New York congressman, including having his groin grabbed without consent.
The allegations were first made in public by Myers on Friday, when he shared a letter he’d written to the House Ethics Committee to formally complain about Santos’ behavior on Twitter. Myers also said he had reported Santos’ alleged behavior to the United States Capitol Police.
“My brush with assault was non-violent and my thoughts are with those who have to live with nightmares from their horrific experiences.
