Vanessa Tyson relays sexual assault allegations against Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax in first TV interview
By Fenit Nirappil Fenit Nirappil Reporter covering D.C. government and politics Email Bio Follow April 1 at 9:05 AM Vanessa Tyson, who has accused Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault, demanded his resignation and called his attempts to compare himself to lynching victims “disgraceful” during an interview with CBS “This Morning” Monday.
“I’d want to resign,” said Tyson, now a professor in California. “I think the Virginia people, the voters of Virginia, have a right to know, you know, both my story and Meredith’s story.” Tyson’s lawyer said she is willing to meet with the Suffolk County District Attorney in Boston, where the alleged crime occurred but a spokesman for the office declined to say if the meeting happened or if authorities are investigating. Watson has said she is not interested in pursuing criminal charges.
“The next thing I know my head is like literally in his crouch and I’m choking and gagging and I couldn’t say anything because I’m choking and gagging,” said Tyson, tearful with her voice breaking.
