Woman says Washington state lawmaker raped her in 2007
SEATTLE — A woman has accused a Washington state lawmaker of raping her 11 years ago, saying she was inspired to speak out as she watched the televised allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
In a tweet Thursday afternoon, Candace Faber said Republican state Sen. Joe Fain sexually assaulted her in 2007 the night she graduated from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
“I’m done being silent,” she wrote.
Fain said he “absolutely” denies the claim and welcomed an investigation.
