The former campaign manager for Iowa’s Democrat U.S. Senate nominee, Mike Franken, alleged in a police report that he has made “several” unwanted advances toward women, including her.
A police report showed the alleged assailant’s name blacked out. However, the Iowa Field Report, which first reported on this, indicated that “context clues,” including staffers’ names and positions, revealed that the alleged assailant is Franken, who is running against longtime Hawkeye State lawmaker, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
The police report type was labeled “Assault – Simple.”
The report indicated that the alleged incident also happened near an Ace Hardware parking lot after Franken and Kimberley Strope-Boggus had drinks at a bar in Des Moines on March 18.
Hawkeye State Senate Democrat nominee’s former campaign manager said that Franken “grabbed the collar of the vest she was wearing and kissed her on her mouth” before she could “pull away.” After the alleged assault, Strope-Boggus indicated that the two kept in contact but never spoke about the incident.
