Rep. Jimmy Gomez accuser told House Ethics Committee he sexually assaulted her, attorneys say
The woman’s attorneys say her account disputes Gomez’s claim that the conduct was consensual and deepens an active Ethics Committee review.
- On Wednesday, attorneys Lisa J. Banks and Sarah E. Nesbitt stated their client told the House Ethics Committee that Representative Jimmy Gomez sexually harassed and assaulted her during a formal interview.
- The House Ethics Committee announced on Monday it had opened an investigation into allegations regarding Gomez, including "engaging in inappropriate sexual contact" with a staffer, following preliminary inquiries begun in June.
- Gomez acknowledged "personal mistakes outside my marriage" but insisted his actions "were consensual in nature." Banks and Nesbitt disputed this, stating their client's account directly contradicts his characterization.
- Panel members stated Monday that the investigation's existence "does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred," emphasizing the probe remains preliminary while scrutiny intensifies.
- Increased pressure now falls on the House Ethics Committee to conduct its review swiftly and transparently as this allegation escalates the existing inquiry into the California congressman's conduct.
