You might remember Corey, he's the guy who belligerantly pushed Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields during the presidential campaign. He denied it happened but there's video evidence that appears to corroborate Fields' claim. Nothing was done and there were no repercussions for Lewandowski.
Ms. Villa, 31, attended a Trump International Hotel party last month and filed a sexual assault report with the Metropolitan Police Department. She is an avid Trump supporter and is exploring a congressional bid in Florida. She alleged that Lewandowski slapped her on the butt, hard, twice, even after she voiced an objection.
She provided the names of two eyewitnesses to the police department when filing the report on December 24th, after Politico published details of her account of what happened.
Initially, she claims that she told a detective she wanted to file a sexual harassment claim, but he explained that the incident she described was considered a misdemeanor and that it belonged with the sex assault unit. "The detective I talked to said that sexual harassment is what happens in the workforce," she said in an interview. "The detective told me, 'what you describe happened to you is sexual assault.'"
Villa plans to meet with investigators in Washington.
A Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman confirmed that a sexual assault case has been filed and that the paperwork is awaiting approval from a ranking officer.
Lewandowski has not responded for comment to the media.
Villa said she was introduced to Lewandowski by a mutual friend and was pushed toward him to pose for a photo at the party.
"I'm wearing this silver suit and stretchy pants, and after the photo, he smacks my ass really hard," she told Politico in an exclusive interview. "It was completely demeaning and shocking."
When she confronted him and said she could accuse him of sexual harassment, he laughed at her. "He said, 'Go ahead, I work in the private sector,'" she recalled. "Then he smacks my ass again."
When she was asked why she waited a month before speaking out, she said that she was afraid that it would backfire on her and she would get blamed.
Lewandowski is married and has children, which caused Villa to hesitate to share her story. She was also embarrassed for her own family to read about it, but after a friend saw what happened, shared the story with Politco last week, and Villa then decided to go public.
