In an email given to the news station by a family member, the victim, whose identity is protected, described the harassment she suffered while working under Campbell as an intern. “I uncomfortably explained that that was not happening,” she continued, “and he insisted that he knew it was and asked me to tell him about it I explained that she is my friend, and he proceeded to describe how sexually attractive he finds her.”“I had consensual, adult conversations with two adults off property,” Campbell said when he was confronted on Capitol Hill on Thursday. “I think conversations are consensual once that is verbally agreed to.
She recalled an instance on March 15 in which Campbell asked her about her sexual history and offered to give her cannabis edibles to see her tattoos and piercings. He then begged her for several hugs and grabbed her around her neck, she said.
