The report alleges that Hegseth obstructed a woman&#8217;s \u2062exit from a hotel room and confiscated \u2063her phone prior to\u200d an encounter that he insists was consensual. The\u2063 woman, referred to as &#8220;Jane Doe,&#8221; reported the incident occurred after a Republican women&#8217;s event, where\u200b Hegseth \u200ballegedly \u2062behaved inappropriately and there was alcohol present. <\/p>\n<p>In the police report, it is noted that she recalled feeling blocked from leaving the \u200croom and expressing \u200cher refusal multiple\u200c times. Hegseth, currently 44, has maintained \u2063his innocence, asserting \u2063that\u200b there was no wrongdoing, although his\u200d attorney \u2063acknowledged \u2064that a settlement was reached with the alleged\u200b victim to\u200b avoid potential\u200b litigation. The case emerged again after Monterey officials confirmed the allegations following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-imports-of-auto-parts-face-scrutiny-under-law-on-chinese-forced-labor\/\" title=\"US auto parts imports under scrutiny for Chinese forced labor.\">public \u2063records request<\/a>. Hegseth&#8217;s lawyer stated\u2064 that the police investigation found the claims unfounded, which is why \u200dno charges were \u2063filed.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Police report reveals new details about Pete Hegseth assault claim<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1882921\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A newly released police report from 2017 alleges that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pete-hegseth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Pete Hegseth\">Pete Hegseth<\/a>, the Fox News host and nominee for secretary of defense, blocked the woman who accused him of sexual assault from leaving the hotel room and took her phone before the encounter that he denies was anything but consensual.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Hegseth, 44, who President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3230599\/pete-hegseth-pentagon-bureaucratic-behemoth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">selected<\/a> to be the next defense secretary, told police at the time that the encounter had been consensual and denied wrongdoing. The identity of the alleged victim has not been released publicly.<\/p>\n<p>The news of the allegations surfaced last week when Monterey officials released a brief statement confirming that a woman had accused Hegseth of sexual assault in October 2017 after he had spoken at a Republican women&rsquo;s event at a hotel in the area. The Monterey government released public records on Wednesday night that provided additional details of the alleged incident.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3232267\/pete-hegseth-tattoo-controversy-centuries-old-christian-symbol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"THE JERUSALEM CROSS: PETE HEGSETH&rsquo;S TATTOO AND THE HYSTERIA ABOUT CHRISTIAN HISTORY\"><strong>THE JERUSALEM CROSS: PETE HEGSETH&rsquo;S TATTOO AND THE HYSTERIA ABOUT CHRISTIAN HISTORY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hegseth&rsquo;s attorney Tim Parlatore said his client denies any wrongdoing, though the lawyer acknowledged that his client paid the alleged victim in a settlement agreement to thwart a possible lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This police report confirms what I have said all along that the incident was fully investigated and police found the allegations to be false, which is why no charges were filed,&rdquo; Parlatore told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The night in question was Oct. 7, 2017. The woman, who was identified as Jane Doe in the police documents, said she observed Hegseth &ldquo;acting inappropriately with the women at the conference&rdquo; and that there had been alcohol served at an after-party. They then had an argument near the pool.<\/p>\n<p>The woman told police that her next memory was from inside a hotel room before Hegseth allegedly took her phone and prevented her from leaving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hegseth took her phone from her hands. Jane Doe stated she got up and tried to leave the room, but Hegseth blocked the door with his body. Jane Doe remembers saying &lsquo;no&rsquo; a lot,&rdquo; the document said. Her next memory, according to the report, was Hegseth bare-chested and his dog tags hovering in her face.<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth allegedly ejaculated on her stomach and then threw her a towel. She went to the hospital to report the incident four days later.<\/p>\n<p>A nurse at Kaiser Permanente reported suspicious circumstances and urged an investigation to be conducted after the victim came in and requested a&nbsp;Sexual Assault Response Team&nbsp;exam.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">alleged victim told law enforcement<\/a> she believed she may have been drugged due to her limited memory of the night in question.
