Washington’s campaign has been dogged by an allegation of sexual
assault that dates back to January of 2016. And while the charge
against him was dropped and expunged from his record – the alleged
victim (who refers to herself as “Brittani”) has launched a website detailing her experiences.
Brittani – who worked alongside Washington on the 2016 campaign of
U.S. senator Bernie Sanders – has posted at least one video to
social media related to the allegations. In that clip, she
identified Washington as her alleged rapist, described the incident
further and accused prosecutors in the South Carolina Lowcountry of
mishandling the case.
