A Republican congressman who scored a run for New York governor allegedly molested a female lobbyist in a bar in 2017, according to a report on Friday.
The Washington Post said the incident involving US Rep. Tom Reid (R-Corning) allegedly took place in Minneapolis and included Niccol डेविस Davis, 25, and a junior lobbyist for insurance veteran Aflac.
“A drunken congress is rubbing my back,” Davis allegedly texted a friend and co-worker.
Another text states, “Help help”, according to the paper.
Reid allegedly pierced Davis’ bra through her blouse and unbuttoned her barbs, then placed her hand on her thigh and moved it upward, she told the paper.
She said a man is sitting near Reid and he kicked her out of the bar when Davis asked for help, she said.
In a prepared statement, Reid said “this account of my actions is not accurate,” but he declined to answer a list of detailed questions, the Washington Post said.
Last month, Reid told Fox News that she would be challenging Gov. Andrew Andrew next year.
