'Matt Schlapp Is a Sexual Predator': Accuser Sues Over Sexual Battery

The former Herschel Walker staffer who came forward to The Daily Beast earlier this month to detail a sexual assault allegation against conservative icon Matt Schlapp is now suing the powerful chairman of the American Conservative Union—for battery, defamation, and conspiracy.

The lawsuit, which the staffer’s attorneys filed Tuesday in the circuit court of Alexandria, Virginia, accuses Schlapp of “sexual battery” after “aggressively fondling” his “genital area in a sustained fashion” while the staffer drove Schlapp home from an evening of drinks at Atlanta bars in October.

The complaint also accuses Schlapp—as well as his wife, conservative commentator and former Trump White House communications adviser, Mercedes Schlapp—of defamation, citing efforts to “impugn” the accuser’s character in response to media reports of the allegation. It further alleges a conspiracy count where the couple worked to denigrate the accuser with the help of conservative fundraiser Caroline Wren, who has acted as a representative for the Schlapps in the matter.

The lawsuit claims that Schlapp, who oversees the Conservative Political Action Conference, made "repeated unsolicited and undesired advances" toward the campaign staffer for Herschel Walker. The staffer previously told The Daily Beast that Schlapp "groped" his crotch while he drove the conservative organizer back to his hotel after a day of campaign events.

1. I hope Schlapp gets "Schlapped" big time.

He's a total asshole.

2. Best of luck with that. I'm waiting for others to speak out. That's how it usually goes.

If the lawsuit doesn't hold up in court, at least Schlapp's reputation is done.

4. Normally this would be true but we are living in Bazarro World these days.

He'll turn this around to his advantage. Look at Kyle Rittenhouse. It's a world gone mad.

5. I don't know. His cohort will probably insist that he gets a knighthood or

A Presidential Medal of Freedom, Nobel Peace Prize or something that celebrates his "contribution" to humanity. He could be lauded to the ends of the Earth.

That bad rep could just as easily be a badge of honor. Those GQP Magas are funny like that. What a time to be alive!!



I laugh to keep from losing my mind completely. Lawd have mercy!
