FIGHTING BACK: GOP candidate takes aim at opponent after Politico publishes records of her sexual assault
Jennifer-Ruth Green, the Republican candidate for Indiana's 1st Congressional District, says her opponent helped publish "illegally obtained" military records revealing sexually assaulted while stationed in Iraq., is livid after Politico published details about her sexual assault while in the military, without her permission, and blames her opponent for"illegally" obtaining the information. But now she's ready to speak out.
"The reality of it is – like I said at one point in my life to my assailant, 'No. Please stop. Don't.' – and he did what he wanted to do … This is the exact same situation all over again, all because there was a man who wanted some sort of gratification," Green said."Congressman Frank Mrvan gets his gratification of trying to think he's smearing my name. Adam Wren gets his gratification of thinking he's going to get a good smear story out of it.
Following the assault, Green said she was told to keep quiet about the incident by her superiors in the Air Force, as detailed in the Politico report.Green wrote a letter on Oct. 3 to the relevant U.S. attorney, the Air Force Inspector General and the Department of Defense to request a criminal investigation into how the documents were provided to Politico.
