Sex Harassment Lawsuit Filed Against Senate Candidate Wolf

A former political consultant is alleging that U.S. Senate candidate August Wolf sexually harassed her, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday.

Samantha Menh was a senior advisor and finance director for the campaign. She joined at a time when the the campaign was falling flat, according to the lawsuit.

Wolf is a businessman and former Olympic shot putter. He participated in the 1984 Olympics.

The 12-page lawsuit alleges that Wolf’s mind was always in the gutter and that he asked Menh if she was sleeping with the campaign manager and if she “has ever been sexually satisfied by a real man?”

Wolf is attempting to force a GOP primary by collecting enough signatures. He has until June 7, according to CT Mirror. Dan Carter was selected at the convention to be the nominee.

Wolf called the claims in the lawsuit “outrageous” and said the lawsuit was an attempt to extort money at a critical time during the campaign, according to the Stamford Advocate.

Menh also accused Wolf of touching her repeatedly despite her asking him not to.

Campaign manager Baylor Myers also made inappropriate comments and advances, according to the lawsuit.

Besides sexual harassment the complaint also alleges that Wolf’s campaign illegally coordinated strategy with Super PACS, didn’t gather petitioning signatures properly. He also threatened to end her political career if she left the campaign.
