Washington (CNN) Freshman Democratic Rep. Katie Hill of California on Tuesday denied an allegation that she was in a relationship with a member of her congressional office staff and said that she has notified Capitol Hill police that intimate photos of her were posted online without her consent.

"This smear campaign will not get in the way of the work I am doing every day to move our district and our country forward," Hill said in a public statement. "I am truly grateful for the outpouring of support I have received from colleagues and constituents alike, and I know we will get through this together."

The statement comes days after a piece on a conservative blog alleged that Hill was involved in a relationship with Graham Kelly, her legislative director, according to Legistorm. There is no evidence of the alleged relationship.

"Allegations that I have been involved in a relationship with Mr. Kelly are absolutely false," Hill said in her statement.

CNN has reached out to Kelly for comment.
