According to the relationship, Pete Hegouses, Secretary of Defense, has paid $ 50,000 to the accusation with a reconciliation agreement with a woman who was identified as only Jane Dou, accused of sexual assault.
Hegoses was accused of a 2017 sexual assault by Dou, who met Hesces at a Republican Conference at a hotel in Montray, California in October of the same year.
After Hegouses sent a letter to the accuser, he reached a reconciliation agreement in 2020.
Hegousth's lawyer denied that the client had not done anything wrong, but during the#METOO era, women were paid to avoid this case from becoming public. He said publicly.
The agreement was previously reported, along with the fact that Hegousth paid money to women. However, the details of the $ 50,000 payment reported by the AP communication were confirmed for the first time.
The payment was revealed in response to the question of Senator Elizabeth Warren (Democratic Party, Massachusetts).
The Hill asked Hegousth's lawyer Timothy Pala Tore for comments.
Hegouses denied sexual assault on women and argued that it was an agreement.
According to police reports, women believe they had taken medicine at the hotel bar and rarely remember most of the night. However, she reported that Hegouses was riding on her in the hotel room and Hescess had prevented her from leaving the room.
Hegoses has passed an important Senate procedure on Thursday, and is scheduled to be fully approved on Friday night, but two Republican Senator opposed Hegoses. Only one vote is lost Hegoses.
In addition to the alleged sexual assault, Hesces has been fighting a number of accusations on inappropriate acts, such as massive drinking at work and financial misconduct in two veteran organizations that were once led. Hegousz has denied all charges.
