Rep. Jimmy Gomez accuser told House Ethics Committee he sexually assaulted her, attorneys say
The woman’s attorneys say her account disputes Gomez’s claim that the conduct was consensual and deepens an active Ethics Committee review.
- On Wednesday, attorneys Lisa J. Banks and Sarah E. Nesbitt stated their client told the House Ethics Committee that Representative Jimmy Gomez sexually harassed and assaulted her, describing both harassment and assault during a formal committee interview.
- The House Ethics Committee announced on Monday it had opened an investigation into allegations regarding Gomez, including "engaging in inappropriate sexual contact" with a staffer, following reports from June that the panel was investigating the California congressman.
- Gomez acknowledged "personal mistakes outside my marriage" but insisted his actions "were consensual in nature." Banks and Nesbitt directly disputed this assertion, stating the client's account contradicts his claim.
- The House Ethics Committee noted Monday that announcing an investigation "does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred," emphasizing the need for swift and transparent review.
- This new allegation intensifies an existing inquiry into the California congressman's conduct, increasing pressure on the House Ethics Committee to conduct its review swiftly and transparently.
