ATLANTA — A former staffer for Republican Herschel Walker’s U.S. Senate campaign filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing conservative activist Matt Schlapp of “aggressively fondling” him while they were alone in a car after a campaign event in Georgia.
The lawsuit was filed anonymously in the Virginia Circuit Court in Alexandria by the staffer, who cited privacy concerns and fear of retaliation. The aide detailed his allegation in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution earlier this month.
The complaint, which seeks at least $9.4 million in damages, also accuses Schlapp and his wife, Mercedes Schlapp, of coordinating a campaign to discredit the aide.
