Rep. David Wu (D-as in “Democrat”) accused of “unwanted sexual encounter” with young staffer

Just thought I’d make it crystal-clear in the headline that this animal is a member of the Democrat Party, as there seems to be some confusion out there on that point in the media. Not that it really matters though. I’m just sayin’.

Wait, is “unwanted sexual encounter” the media euphemism now for rape?

The Oregonian reports:

A distraught young woman called U.S. Rep. David Wu’s Portland office this spring, accusing him of an unwanted sexual encounter, according to multiple sources.

When confronted, the Oregon Democrat acknowledged a sexual encounter to his senior aides but insisted it was consensual, the sources said.

The woman is the daughter of a longtime friend and campaign donor. She apparently did not contact police at the time.

One person who heard the voice mail described the woman as upset, breathing heavily and “distraught.”

In the voice mail, the young woman accused Wu of aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior, according to sources with direct knowledge of the message and its contents.

Reporters could not verify the young woman’s age. Notes on Facebook over the past 18 months indicate she graduated from high school in 2010. California records show she registered to vote in August.
