An ER nurse contacted police in 2017 after treating a woman who said that while drinking w/colleagues after a political gathering several nights earlier she may have been #drugged & then sexually assaulted by a man she identified as #PeteHegseth, acc/to records released late Wed by Monterey PD.
A lawyer for #Hegseth, #Trump’s nom to be #defense sec, said the encounter was consensual. Authorities declined to bring charges in the case. Hegseth paid the woman an undisclosed sum as part of a NDA.
The accuser — referred to as “Jane Doe” in the 22-page batch of documents released in response to a public records request — met #Hegseth at a Republican conference in Monterey, California, where he’d been featured as a speaker. After observing Hegseth behaving “inappropriately” w/ women at the upscale hotel event, she said she confronted him, officers wrote, & the pair argued.
“Doe” recalled #Hegseth telling her that he was a “nice guy,” officers wrote. Her next memory was being in an unknown room w/Hegseth, acc/to the police report. She stated that Hegseth then “took her phone from her hands” & blocked the door, acc/to the documents.
“JANE DOE remembered saying ‘no’ a lot,” the report said.
@Nonilex To summarize, women have no place in combat because it's impossible for animals like him to not attempt to rape them.
@binaryequation @Nonilex BadTake. This was not a military issue. Creeps are everywhere.
@ArmyGirl @Nonilex Hegseth is openly opposed to women in combat roles.
@binaryequation yes I know that, but not relevant to this allegation.
@ArmyGirl @binaryequation wait until you find out that rape victims are grilled by police, and then defense lawyers, about what she was wearing, how often does she drink, etc. It’s “character” defining.
Hegseth believes women are weaker, less valuable, merely objects for men’s amusement.
It’s part of his character and his pattern of behavior, and helps establish credibility for the allegation.
However, his nazi tattoos aren’t relevant. Let’s keep that quiet.
