Husband of Embattled Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer Barred from Department Headquarters over Sexual Assault Allegations

The husband of embattled Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been banned from the department’s headquarters amid allegations he sexually assaulted at least two female staffers inside the building. 

In one instance captured on office security cameras, Dr. Shawn DeRemer allegedly gave a woman an extended hug during work hours on Dec. 18, the New York Times reported on Thursday. 

The video is being reviewed by authorities as part of a criminal investigation into the Portland-based anesthesiologist. 

Sources familiar with the incident confirmed to The Post that DeRemer was barred from the building and that a report was filed with Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department. . . .

The police report, obtained by The Post, was made on Jan. 24 and notes the complainant reported “sexual contact against her will” at the Labor Department’s DC’s headquarters and that the incident is being investigated as a misdemeanor sexual abuse case.
