Police refuse aid to woman attacked by Rep. Don Sherwood (R-Pa.)

[Ian David]

Sherwood Update. Cynthia Ore, the woman who called police on Rep. Don Sherwood (R-Pa.), has now hired an attorney, according to the Times Leader newspaper of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Ore, 29, also claimed to the paper that Washington, D.C., police have refused to give her a copy of her 911 call.

“Who would you help, a young girl or a Member of Congress?” Ore asked in an interview with the Times Leader. “He lives in the Hill House so they knew. It’s mostly Congressmen and also Senators.”

Ore called 911 from Sherwood’s apartment on Sept. 15 saying, according to the police report, that he “choked her for no apparent reason.” Sherwood denies the accusation and says he was only giving her a back rub. Police did not charge Sherwood. They said both parties were unwilling to discuss what actually happened and that Ore “did not seem to be of sound mind.”

Sherwood issued a statement last week apologizing “for the pain and embarrassment I have caused my family and supporters.”
