"At least two female employees at the Labor Department told officials that Shawn DeRemer touched them inappropriately at the department's headquarters in Washington, D.C., people familiar with the matter told the Times. One of the sources said one incident came during the workday on Dec. 18, and was recorded by security cameras at the office. The video showed Dr. DeRemer giving one of the women an extended embrace, and was reviewed as part of a criminal investigation, one of the people said, the Times stated."
"After the women described the incidents to investigators, Dr. DeRemer was barred from entering the Labor Department's premises, according to people familiar with the decision, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the allegations and ongoing investigations surrounding the department. If Mr. DeRemer attempts to enter, he is to be asked to leave, a building restriction notice viewed by The Times said. Shawn DeRemer, 57, does not appear to have any role with the department, but the Times said he frequently visited his wife at headquarters, which he is now prohibited from entering:"
Two women accused Dr. Shawn DeRemer of sexual assault at the Labor Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. At least two female employees told officials he touched them inappropriately; one incident on Dec. 18 was recorded on security cameras showing an extended embrace and was reviewed in a criminal investigation. The women came forward in January during an investigation into Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and her staff, and the Washington Metropolitan Police Department filed a report on Jan. 24 regarding forced sexual contact. Dr. DeRemer, 57, has no official role but frequently visited the headquarters and has been barred from entering; a lawyer for the secretary denies the allegations.
