A recent police report obtained by a source sheds light on allegations made by a California woman against Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for secretary of defense. The report reveals that the woman accused Hegseth of physically blocking her from leaving a hotel room, taking her phone, and sexually assaulting her despite her repeated objections.

The 22-page report, released by the city attorney’s office of Monterey, California, includes conflicting narratives from both parties involved. Hegseth maintains that the encounter was consensual and that he ensured the woman was comfortable throughout. However, the woman, identified as 'Jane Doe' in the report, expressed distress over the incident and declined to comment when approached by reporters.
