A California woman told police that Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick for the Department of Defense, physically blocked her from leaving a hotel room, took her phone and then sexually assaulted her, even though she remembered saying often “no,” according to CNN citing a police report.

The 22-page report, released by the Monterey, California district attorney’s office Wednesday night, lays out the conflicting accounts of what happened in new detail — including conflicting accounts of how drunk Hegseth and the woman were, as well as descriptions of the surveillance videos that captured some of their movements that night.

Hegseth told police that their encounter was consensual and that he had repeatedly made sure that the woman “He was comfortable with what was going on between the two of them.”

Seven years after the alleged sexual assault, questions about what happened that night could jeopardize Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary and appear likely to be at the center of his upcoming confirmation hearing.

Hegseth was not charged. His attorney admitted that Hegseth later entered into a settlement agreement with his accuser that included an undisclosed monetary payment and a confidentiality agreement. Although Hegseth insisted the meeting was consensual, the lawyer said he feared the woman was ready to make an allegation against him during the #MeToo movement that could cost him his job as a Fox News anchor.

“This police report confirms what I’ve been saying all along, that the incident was fully investigated and the police found the allegations to be false, which is why no charges were laid.”Timothy Parlatore, Hegseth’s attorney, told CNN Wednesday night — though the report did not say police found the allegations to be false.

The woman who accused Hegseth of assault broke down in tears when asked about the matter by CNN reporters last week and declined to comment.

According to the new police report, the alleged assault took place in the early morning hours of Oct. 8, 2017, after Hegseth spoke at a California Republican Women’s Federation conference at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa the night before.

The report, which identifies the accuser as “Jane Doe,” summarizes police interviews with Doe, Hegseth, conference attendees and a hotel employee, and includes descriptions of video from the hotel that police reviewed.

Both Doe and Hegseth, as well as several attendees interviewed by police, told authorities that the two took them with a group to the hotel bar, Knuckles, after the speech and to a party in a hotel suite.

There, a conference attendee told police Hegseth touched her knee and invited her to his hotel room. The bystander said she declined the invitation and “gained the attention” of Doe who intervened – hoping Doe’s “presence would deter Hegseth’s attempt to have sex” with her. The bystander in question later left the bar and stated that Doe did not appear intoxicated.

Another convention attendee told police she saw Doe and another woman flirting with Hegseth at the bar. At the time, Doe “did not appear to be intoxicated to the point where she was unable to care for her own safety,” he said.

Doe told officers she believed Hegseth was acting inappropriately toward the other women during the conference, according to the report. She later told a hospital nurse that “she wasn’t sure but she thinks something may have been put in her drink as she doesn’t remember most of the events of the night” and the nurse took it to the police, according to the report. The report also notes that Doe said she had been drinking “much more than normal” that day.

Officers reviewed surveillance video from the hotel that showed Doe and Hegseth “walking together,” leaving the bar and heading toward the hotel pool, with Doe smiling.

Doe told police she remembers leaving the bar and arguing with Hegseth at the pool, where the two argued about his behavior toward women at the convention and Hegseth told her he was a “good kid.” Police also interviewed a hotel employee who responded to guest complaints about the fight. He told the employee “that he had free speech” before he and Doe left, the employee said. The employee said Hegseth appeared to be highly intoxicated, while Doe was not, the report states.

Doe told police her next memory after the fight was being in a hotel room with Hegseth. She told officers that Hegseth “took the phone out of her hands.” He then, he said, “tried to leave the room, but Hegseth blocked the door with his body.” He said he “remembered saying ‘no’ a lot,” but didn’t remember much else, according to the report.

Then, she said, she remembers Hegseth on top of her on a bed or couch. She later told the hospital nurse that she “couldn’t remember whether or not there was intercourse, but she believes she was sexually assaulted at that time,” the nurse told police.

Hegseth, in contrast, told police the encounter with Doe was consensual. He said he was “dizzy” that night after drinking beer and remembered returning to his hotel room with Doe.

Hegseth said Doe “sat in the room and didn’t leave” and that he found it “strange” that she stayed in his room, according to the report.

As the night progressed, Hegseth said he made sure Doe was “comfortable with what was going on between the two of them” and that there was “always” conversation and “always” consensual contact. The two had sex, he admitted.

After they had sex, Hegseth said, he had a “very clear conversation” with Doe, who told him she was going to tell her husband that she “fell asleep on a couch in someone else’s room.” Hegseth told police that Doe showed “early signs of remorse,” but did not elaborate.
