U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell says she's been sexually harassed in Washington
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn, added her name to the growing list of those who say they have been sexually harassed in the nation's capital, telling CNN a "prominent" historical figure tried to put his hand up her skirt decades ago.
She also said Friday that a U.S. senator made unwelcome advances to her. Her office told the Free Press that the incidents involved two separate men.
Dingell did not name either the senator or the person who groped her and her office would not confirm whether the latter was an officeholder or not, saying only that he was "a prominent historical figure."
Dingell was elected to Congress in 2014 but has been a fixture in Washington for decades. She said on CNN she never mentioned the harassment to her husband, former U.S. Rep. John Dingell, at the time.
