Shawn DeRemer, the husband of US Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, has been barred from the department’s headquarters in Washington following allegations by at least two female staff members that he sexually assaulted them, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
According to the Times, the women told department officials that DeRemer, an anaesthesiologist, had touched them inappropriately at the Labour Department’s building on Constitution Avenue.
One incident reportedly took place on the morning of December 18 last year and was captured on office security cameras, showing DeRemer giving one of the women an extended embrace. The footage was reviewed as part of a criminal investigation.
