The woman accusing Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault went on the record for this first time Wednesday describing how the alleged incident transitioned from being a consensual encounter to sexual assault.
Vanessa Tyson alleges Fairfax forced her to perform oral sex when the two had a sexual encounter in his hotel room during the Democratic National Convention in Boston in 2004.
Fairfax, a 39-year-old Democrat, has said the sexual encounter they had was “100 percent†consensual.
In her statement Wednesday, Tyson, a professor from California, said, "What began as consensual kissing quickly turned into a sexual assault."
"Mr. Fairfax put his hand behind my neck and forcefully pushed my head towards his crotch," she continued. "Only then did I realize that he had unbuckled his belt, unzipped his pants, and taken out his penis. He then forced his penis into my mouth. Utterly shocked and terrified, I tried to move my head away, but could not because his hand was holding down my neck and he was much stronger than me. As I cried and gagged, Mr. Fairfax forced me to perform oral sex on him."
