A woman told police she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by Pete Hegseth after he took her phone, blocked the door to a California hotel room and refused to let her leave, according to a detailed investigative report released late Wednesday.

Hegseth, a former Fox News personality and President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, told police at the time that the meeting had been consensual and denied any wrongdoing, according to the report.

News of the allegations emerged last week when local officials released a brief statement confirming that a woman had accused Hegseth of sexual assault in October 2017 after he spoke at a Republican Women’s event in Monterey.

“The matter was fully investigated and I was cleared,” Hegseth told reporters Thursday at the U.S. Capitol, where he met with senators to build support for his nomination.

The report does not say that police found the allegations to be false. Police recommended that the case report be forwarded to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office for review.
