Congressman Tom Reed has been accused of sexual misconduct by a former lobbyist, according to a story in The Washington Post.

Nicolette Davis told The Post that in 2017 when she was 25, she was in an Irish pub in Minneapolis with the Congressman and other lobbyists.

Davis then alleges that Reed was “rubbing my back” and texted a friend and co-worker at Aflac.

Reed, his hand outside her blouse, briefly fumbled with her bra before unhooking it by pinching the clasp, Davis told The Post. He moved his hand to her thigh, inching upward, she said.

Frozen in fear, she said, she asked the person sitting to her right for help. He obliged by pulling the congressman away from the table and out of the restaurant, Davis said.
