WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - A woman alleged in a call to police last fall that U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood had started choking her while giving her a back rub at his Washington apartment, but no charges were filed, according to a published report.
The encounter between Sherwood, 64, a four-term Republican congressman, and Cynthia Ore, 29, of Rockville, Md., occurred on the afternoon of Sept. 15, according to a copy of a Washington Metropolitan Police incident report obtained by the Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) Times Leader.
But police also said in the report they did not receive a full account of events.
"Both parties have left out significant information or are not willing to discuss in detail what actually happened," the incident report said.
Sherwood, who is married, told the Times Leader in a story published Saturday that Ore was "an acquaintance" but wouldn't elaborate on why she was in his apartment. Ore told the newspaper the two met in 1999 at a Young Republicans meeting but wouldn't go into specifics about their relationship.
