A South Carolina woman who’s headed off to prison claims a Secret Service agent raped her after her arrest, according to the Associated Press.
The woman alleged in court documents that the agent took advantage of her on a couch in his office after arresting her on embezzlement charges, AP reported. The woman alleged that the agent warned her not to tell anyone or she’d be in bigger trouble.
She is asking that the judge toss out her sentence, and said the judge was never apprised of the allegations.
Ed Donovan, a Secret Service spokesman in Washington, told ticklethewire.com on Monday that the matter has been referred to the Office of Professional Responsibility for investigation.
The woman ended up pleading guilty and getting sentenced to 15 months in prison, AP reported. She is scheduled to report to prison on Tuesday.
AP did not identify the woman, saying it generally does not identify alleged sexual assault victims.
