The Monterey police department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as the media (is) concerned, it&#8217;s very simple: The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared, and that&#8217;s where I&#8217;m gonna leave it,&#8221; Hegseth told reporters on Capitol Hill where he met with Republican senators to build support for his nomination.<\/p>\n<p>The police report, released by the City of Monterey on Wednesday night, does not have the complainant&#8217;s name but refers to her as Jane Doe. The report has surfaced after media outlets, including Reuters, filed requests for details about the incident that surfaced after Hegseth was named Trump&#8217;s defense secretary nominee.<\/p>\n<p>The report says that Doe told an officer that she was attending a conference at a hotel in Monterey, California, in October 2017, where Hegseth was the keynote speaker.<\/p>\n<p>Doe, according to the report, said she had been drinking and remembers leaving a bar with Hegseth. She said her next memory was being in an unknown room, with Hegseth blocking the door when she tried to leave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Doe remembered saying &#8216;no&#8217; a lot. Jane Doe stated she did not remember much else,&#8221; the report said. The report added Doe said that her next memory was on a couch or bed with Hegseth over her and his dog tags hovering in her face.<\/p>\n<p>While Hegseth was bare chested, &#8220;Jane Doe did not notice any tattoos, scars and or marks on Hegseth&#8217;s body,&#8221; the report said.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"paragraph-9\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__small__1kGq2 body__full_width__ekUdw body__small_body__2vQyf article-body__paragraph__2-BtD\">Hegseth has a number of tattoos, including a large Jerusalem cross on his chest, <a data-testid=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/how-trumps-pentagon-pick-hegseth-fell-out-love-with-us-military-2024-11-15\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__inherit-color__3208F text__inherit-font__1Y8w3 text__inherit-size__1DZJi link__link__3Ji6W link__underline_default__2prE_\">Reuters has previously reported.<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Doe, the report said, went to the hospital four days after the incident, where an examination was carried out.

Hegseth seemed to be talking and Jane Doe was smiling. Both did not have an unsteady gait.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The report quoted a redacted name as saying that &#8220;DOE was not sure, but believes that something may have been slipped into her drink, as she cannot remember most of the night&#8217;s events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth says he told her he didn&#8217;t have a condom and said they could stop if that was a problem, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hegseth stated Jane Doe said, &#8216;No No No, it&#8217;s not a problem.
