HuffPost
The accusations have complicated the process for Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense.
The Monterey Police Department released a report Wednesday evening unearthing details about a sexual assault allegation Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, faced in 2017, which could derail his intended nomination.
The document, reported by multiple news outlets, was released following public record requests by news organizations. Hegseth has said the encounter was consensual and was never charged with a crime. He entered into a nondisclosure agreement with the woman in 2020.
According to the report, the woman involved in the alleged incident went to the hospital days after attending a GOP political conference at a hotel in Monterey, California, to ask for a sexual assault examination.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe in the documents, told the attending nurse “something may have been slipped into her drink, as she cannot remember most of the night’s events,” according to the report. Doe told the nurse she couldn’t recall if sexual penetration had occurred but said she thought she had been sexually assaulted. The nurse reported Doe’s account to the police.
Based on the information in the report, the alleged incident occurred in October 2017 when both attended the conference organized by the California Federation of Republican Women at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa.
