A Democratic congresswoman has described in a new victim impact statement how her whole family was shaken after she was forced to use hot coffee to fend off an intruder in her Washington DC apartment building, according to ABC News.
Rep Angie Craig has largely avoided commenting publicly about the incident that occurred earlier this year, when police say she was followed to an elevator by a man who appeared to be having a mental health crisis; the man then trapped her in the building’s elevator and physically assaulted her when she denied his demand to enter her apartment.
