Former President Bill Clinton found himself embroiled in a fresh scandal when a former television reporter from Arkansas came out publicly Tuesday in an exclusive interview with Breitbart in which she accused Clinton of sexually assaulting her three times in 1980.

Leslie Millwee, who used the name Leslie Derrick when she worked for KLMN-TV, added her name to the throng of Clinton accusers Tuesday when the interview was released. Millwee said she considered coming out publicly with her accusations as the Monica Lewinsky scandal rocked the country in 1998, but decided against it out of fear for her children and fear of the media coverage.

“And I was just stunned. I froze. I asked him to stop. He laughed.”

“I almost came out during the Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey situation. I watched that unfold a little bit,” Millwee told Breitbart. “And I watched the way the Clintons and Hillary slandered those women. Harassed them. Did unthinkable things to them.”

“It was very scary watching all of that,” Millwee added. “And I’ve shared that with some of the other women that have been victims. I just didn’t want to go through that at the time. It was more about my kids than anything.”

As a reporter, Millwee said that she interviewed Clinton roughly 20 times and saw him occasionally inside the KLMN station. Describing her three alleged encounters with the former president, Millwee said that on the first occasion, Clinton cornered her in the news station’s editing room where she was sitting in a chair.

“He came up behind me and started rubbing my shoulders and running his hands down toward my breasts. And I was just stunned. I froze. I asked him to stop. He laughed,” Millwee said. “That happened on three occasions. And each time it escalated where the aggressive nature of his touch and what he was doing behind me escalated.”

On the other two occasions, Millwee claimed that Clinton rubbed his genitals against her until he was satisfied.

“And I’m just sitting there very stiffly, just waiting for him to leave me alone. And I’m asking him the whole time, ‘Please do not do this. Do not touch me. Do not touch me. I do not want this,'” Millwee said.

She remained largely silent about the incidents, telling only three people about them in 1980. It wasn’t until 1998 when the Lewinsky scandal broke that Millwee branched out and told others. Today, Millwee added that she can speak freely because “I’m very comfortable where I am at now in life.”

Millwee’s interview aired the day of the third and final presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the former president’s wife.
