A female FBI agent is suing the Department of Justice over claims her fledgling career stalled out after she rebuffed a senior male agent’s romantic overtures, according to a federal lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
The rookie agent, who was assigned to the bureau’s San Francisco field office and is anonymized in court filings as “Jane Doe,” says in her complaint that the senior agent fed her alcohol during an out-of-town conference, pressured her to send him nude photos and ultimately “engaged in inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature” while she was so intoxicated, she has no memory or recollection of it.
