The newspaper said the woman, identified only as Jane, cried and called one of her friends in a taxi shortly after the incident.
A second friend also claimed that Jane, who was dating Emhoff for about three months at the time, also told her about the incident, the Daily Mail reported.
A third acquaintance claimed that Jane told her what happened in 2018 when she was then a senator. According to the Mail, Harris made headlines after accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
The Daily Mail said all three people involved requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation from Mr. Emhoff.
