(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) said at a House Administration Committee hearing on Tuesday that a sitting member of the U.S. Congress exposed himself to a young female staffer who delivered papers to his house--at his request.
The committee convened the hearing to discuss House policies on sexual harassment and the need for members and staff to undergo training on the issue.
"This is about a member who is here now. I don't know who it is. But somebody who I trust told me this situation.
"This member asked a staffer to bring them over some materials, to their residence. And the young staffer -- it was a young woman -- went there and was greeted with a member in a towel. It was a male, who then invited her in. And at that point, he decided to expose himself. She left, and then she quit her job. She left, she found another job."
Comstock asked the House Administration Committee, "What are we doing here for women right now, who are dealing with somebody like that?"
