Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., on Friday said a "prominent, historical" figure in Congress sexually harassed and assaulted her in 1982, and that the incident was one of many she has experienced as the wife of a congressman.
"I was lucky the night it happened, I didn't know what to do. I was in my first year of marriage, tells you how long ago it was," Dingell told CNN's "New Day." "Historical figure, hand kept going up my leg, I took it off. A woman was at my table, recognized what was happening, said switch places.
"I didn't want my husband to know 'cause I was afraid he might kill him. Everyone in my office knew and the minute we were in a social setting somebody would move in to protect me so I would never be alone," said Dingell, who married her husband, former Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., in 1981.
