A woman who accused Donald Trump’s candidate for Secretary of Defense of sexual assault informed the police in 2017 about an incident where she claims Pete Hegseth prevented her from leaving a hotel room and physically restrained her, based on new documents from YSL News.

The woman shared her vague recollections of the event, telling authorities she repeatedly said “no” and that Hegseth allegedly took her phone and blocked her escape with his body, according to the Monterey Police Department documents.

After previously denying access to a 22-page police report, Monterey police authorities changed their stance last week, releasing a redacted document to YSL News that identifies the victim as Jane Doe. The police indicated that Hegseth had requested access to the report in 2021, and a unique legal provision allowed its public disclosure.

Hegseth and his legal team have refuted the claim that the interaction was rape. Reports suggest he reached a financial settlement related to the case. His attorney asserted earlier this week that “Mr. Hegseth is completely innocent.”

The documents provide more insights into the allegations surrounding an incident that took place in October 2017 at the Hyatt Hotel after a California Federation of Republican Women event where Hegseth was a speaker.

The woman, then 30, visited a sexual assault nurse examiner on October 12, four days post-incident, according to the police report.

She mentioned having consumed champagne and suspected her drink might have been tampered with. While she recalled being in a hotel room with Hegseth on top of her, she expressed uncertainty about whether she was sexually assaulted.

The report states, “Doe remembers Hegseth preventing her from leaving and found herself somehow under him.” She recounted that Hegseth threw a towel at her while asking, “Are you okay?” and telling her to “clean it up.”

On October 26, police interviewed Hegseth about the matter. He told detectives that while he consumed beer, he was not inebriated. He acknowledged bringing the woman to his hotel room for a consensual interaction.

The report noted, “Both would pause to say, ‘we shouldn’t do this,’ but their actions continued consensually,” and Hegseth admitted to ejaculating on the woman’s stomach.

The investigation concluded on the day of Hegseth’s interview, and the case was sent for review to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, which opted not to charge Hegseth.
