The following is Brennan's account of the incident, as reported by the newspaper: Alvarez gave her a ride to her apartment in Jersey City following a bar outing among campaign workers. Alvarez said he wanted to use the bathroom and get a drink of water, then attacked her. Alvarez forced himself on top of her, shoved his hand down her pants and stuck his fingers in her vagina. She managed to get away and lock herself in the bathroom. He left.
