Joy Villa files sexual assault charges against Corey Lewandowski, a former Trump campaign manager.
Joy Villa, the singer who made headlines last year for wearing a Make America Great Again dress at the Grammys, has filed sexual assault charges against Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, accusing him of twice slapping her buttocks at a Trump campaign event.
The alleged incident, which Politicofirst reported Friday, occurred at a Nov. 28 party thrown by the campaign at the Trump International Hotel. Villa, a Trump supporter who has connections to people in Trump’s orbit, said a mutual friend introduced her to Lewandowski and that she posed with him for a photo. Lewandowski has not commented on the incident.
According to Politico:
Her first impression, she said, was that he seemed dismissive of her, and rolled his eyes when he thought she wanted to pose for a photo with him.
“I’m wearing this silver suit and stretchy pants, and after the photo, he smacks my ass really hard,” Villa said. “It was completely demeaning and shocking.”
Villa told Politicoshe had “half-jokingly” told Lewandowski she could report him for sexual harassment. “He said, ‘Go ahead, I work in the private sector,’” she told Politico. “Then he smacks my ass again.”
Villa spoke publicly about the incident after other witnesses told Politicowhat they had seen. She then filed charges Sunday of misdemeanor sexual assault with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Fields dropped the charges, and Lewandowski was soon fired from the campaign.

Good luck to @Joy_Villa on her decision to enter the wonderful world of politics. She has many fans!

According to Politico, she is planning to go to D.C. to meet with investigators over the incident.
