"NEW: Mediaite Obtains Full Police Report on Pete Hegseth Sexual Assault Allegation"




A police report on the allegation of sexual assault against Pete Hegseth, the Fox News star nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as secretary of defense, was obtained by Mediaite on Wednesday and contains graphic details of the 2017 encounter.

The report, provided by the City of Monterey, California, was previously released to Hegseth in March 2021, per his request. It runs 24 pages and details the allegation leveled by a woman who claimed in 2017 that she was sexually assaulted by the cable news star at a Republican women’s conference.

The report includes accounts from several police officers who spoke with Hegseth, his accuser (who remains anonymous and was identified throughout the report as Jane Doe), and others present at the conference, which took place in October 2017.

According to the report, the police were first made aware of the alleged assault when Doe, who was 30 at the time, submitted for a rape-kit exam at a local hospital. A nurse from the hospital called an officer at the Monterey Police Department and reported the assault claim. Days later, police spoke with Doe as part of their investigation.

Hegseth told the hotel worker he had “freedom of speech” while Jane Doe told the worker they were Republicans and apologized for Hegseth, the worker said.

She told police that her recollection became fuzzy after the pool exchange, and that the next memory she had was in an unknown room. She said Hegseth took her phone and blocked the door with his body when she tried to leave. She told police she said “no” repeatedly. She said she was next on a bed or a couch and Hegseth was on top of her, with his dog tags hovering over her face. Hegseth, she said, ejaculated on her stomach. She said he then threw her a towel and asked if she was okay. She said she did not remember how she got back to her room that night.

He said Doe asked him if he had a condom, and that he did not and asked her if that was okay. He said he told her they could stop if that was a problem. Hegseth also said he ejaculated on Doe’s body. After sex, Hegseth said Doe showed early signs of regret, and said she would tell her husband she fell asleep on a couch in someone else’s room.

In a second call with police after her initial interview, Doe provided more recollections about the alleged encounter. She said she was suffering from nightmares and memory loss since. Another person who spoke with police said Doe would “cry secretly” and “out of the blue” since that night.
