据其律师周三发表的声明称，一名女子已向众议院道德委员会指控民主党众议员吉米·戈麦斯对其实施性骚扰和性侵。
众议院道德委员会周一宣布，已就针对戈麦斯的性行为不端指控启动调查，指控内容包括“与一名工作人员进行不当性接触”，这将违反众议院道德规则。
戈麦斯周一承认，自己在婚姻之外犯下了“个人错误”，但称其行为“本质上是双方自愿的，并未违反法律或众议院道德规则”。
不过，据丽莎·J·班克斯和莎拉·E·内斯比特两位律师透露，一名尚未公开姓名的女子向委员会表示，戈麦斯对其实施的行为并非自愿。
“我们代理一名曾就众议员吉米·戈麦斯对其实施性骚扰和性侵的经历，接受众议院道德委员会问询的女性，”律师们在声明中表示，“与戈麦斯众议员在声明中的主张相反，他与我方当事人的行为并非‘本质上自愿’。我们完全期待众议院道德委员会在调查中得出同样的结论。”
CNN尚未独立核实这些针对律师指控的内容，戈麦斯并未立即置评。目前尚不清楚戈麦斯此前有关双方自愿关系的言论，是否针对的就是这名女子。众议院道德委员会的发言人拒绝就律师的声明置评。
道德委员会周一宣布对戈麦斯展开调查，此前三名消息人士六月曾独家告诉CNN，该委员会正在调查这位代表洛杉矶部分地区的加州国会议员。
这些要求匿名以保护身份的消息人士称，委员会在跟进《纽约邮报》的一篇报道时已进行了初步接触。该报道称，2023年有人看到戈麦斯与一名为其他国会议员工作的助手接吻。戈麦斯的发言人当时告诉《邮报》，相关说法“不属实”，该事件“并未发生”。
其中一名消息人士告诉CNN，在调查这一指控时，委员会了解到其他针对戈麦斯的性行为不端指控，而这正是其目前正在调查的内容。
戈麦斯曾表示，他将“配合众议院道德委员会的任何调查，并提供其可能需要的任何信息”。
道德委员会周一表示，调查的存在以及公开披露调查信息“本身并不表明发生了任何违规行为”。

Rep. Jimmy Gomez accuser told House Ethics Committee he sexually assaulted her, attorneys say

A woman has told the House Ethics Committee that Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez sexually harassed and assaulted her, her attorneys said in a statement on Wednesday.
The Ethics Committee announced Monday that it had opened an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Gomez, including“engaging in inappropriate sexual contact” with a staffer, which would be a violation of House ethics rules.
Gomez on Monday acknowledged that he made “personal mistakes outside my marriage” but said that his actions “were consensual in nature and haven’t violated the law or House Ethics rules.”
However, one woman who has not publicly shared her name told the committee Gomez’s actions toward her were not consensual, according to her attorneys, Lisa J. Banks and Sarah E. Nesbitt.
“We represent one of the women who was interviewed by the House Committee on Ethics about her experience of sexual harassment and assault by Representative Jimmy Gomez,” the attorneys said in a statement. “Contrary to Representative Gomez’s assertion in his statement, his actions were not ‘consensual in nature’ with respect to our client. We fully expect that the House Committee on Ethics will come to the same conclusion in its investigation.”
Gomez did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the attorneys’ allegations, which CNN has not independently corroborated. It was not clear from Gomez’s earlier statement about a consensual relationship whether he was referring to his actions with the same woman. A spokesperson for the House Ethics Committee declined to comment on the attorneys’ statement.
Monday’s announcement from the Ethics Committee about the probe into Gomez came after three sources told CNN exclusively in June that the panel was investigating the California congressman, who represents parts of Los Angeles.
The sources, who asked not to be named to protect their identities, said the panel had made early reach-outs in its attempt to follow up on a New York Post story, which alleged Gomez had been spotted kissing an aide, who worked for a different member of Congress, in 2023. A Gomez spokesperson told The Post at the time that the accounts were “not true” and the incident “didn’t happen.”
In looking into that claim, one of the sources told CNN, the panel learned of other allegations of sexual misconduct against Gomez that it is now investigating.
Gomez has said he would “cooperate with any Ethics Committee inquiry and provide it with whatever information it might need.”
The ethics panel said Monday that the existence of an investigation and public disclosure of the investigation “does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred.”
