HuffPost
Two women have accused Shawn DeRemer of touching them inappropriately inside the department's headquarters, The New York Times reported.
The husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been barred from entering her department’s headquarters after at least two women accused him of sexual assault, according to multiple reports Thursday.
The women accused Shawn DeRemer, an anesthesiologist, of touching them inappropriately inside the building, according to The New York Times, which also reported that one of the alleged encounters was caught on camera on Dec. 18. The footage shows DeRemer giving a woman an extended hug, a source told the Times.
A report filed by the Metropolitan Police Department on Jan. 24 said a “complainant reported a sexual contact against her will” at the Labor Department, per Politico and The Wall Street Journal.
But DeRemer denied wrongdoing in a phone interview with the Journal.
“I have not done any of this and I categorically deny these things. I will absolutely categorically fight everything in this,” he told the outlet.
