The woman has alleged that she met with the politician somewhere in public to discuss her interest in finding a job, reportedly after he had told her family that he was interested in helping the young woman find a job.
According to the allegations, the man asked her to join him in his apartment where the two sat on the sofa to carry on their discussion.
