A Democratic congresswoman says she was sexually assaulted by a “prominent, historical” senator in the 1980s — and “everyone on Capitol Hill knew” that he was a harasser.

“Historical figure, hand kept going up the leg, I took it off. A women member was at the table, recognized what was happening, and said, ‘switch places,'” Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell told CNN.

“Everybody at my office knew and the minute I was at a social setting someone would move in to protect me so I’d never be alone. He would be aggressive not only towards me, everyone on Capitol Hill knew it. I just happen to be one of his people.”

Dingell said it happened in her first year of marriage to Rep. John Dingell, whom she wed in 1981.

But despite the 36-year time gap, Dingell said she’s still afraid to name the prominent perv.

“I’m a United states congresswoman — I’m luckier than 99 percent of the women … But I would still pay a price if I were to name some of them,” she said.
