A former deputy chief of staff to Rep. John Conyers claimed in an interview published Tuesday that he invited her to his hotel room for sex and groped her twice.
Deanna Maher, who ran a Michigan office for the Democrats’ most senior legislator from 1997 to 2005, said she never reported the three incidents because Conyers ‘is a powerful man’ and she didn’t think she would be taken seriously.
She said the first was in 1997 during an event with the Congressional Black Caucus, when she rejected his offer to share his hotel room at the Grand Hyatt in Washington.
‘I didn’t have a room, and he had me put in his hotel suite,’ Maher, 77, told The Detroit News. She rejected his offer of sharing a room and having sex, she said.
The other alleged incidents involved unwanted touching in a car in 1998 and unwanted touching of her legs under her dress in 1999.
In the 1998 incident, Maher says, Conyers groped her while he was driving the pair to Detroit’s airport.
‘He was trying to feel me up with his right hand,’ she told the Detroit News. ‘I kept pushing his hand away.’
