An Infowars video producer has accused a Women’s March protester of inappropriately touching him during the 2019 D.C. demonstration, according to a report on Wednesday.
Isabel O’Shaughnessy, 21, was charged with misdemeanor sex abuse, the Washington Post reported. Local police told the outlet the Catholic University of America student surrendered to law enforcement on Wednesday, but a Superior Court of D.C. judge released her.
Owen Shroyer, the reporter for the far-right website, alleges in the arrest affidavit that O’Shaughnessy intentionally grabbed him by his genitals during this month’s rally while he was conducting an interview with another participant. He also shared a video of the incident online.
“Here is the moment I was sexually assaulted by a #WomensMarch2019 protester. She laughed about it. The crowd cheered. The police did nothing,” Shroyer tweeted on Jan. 21, two days after the march.

Shroyer officially reported the matter to the authorities on Jan. 23.
O’Shaughnessy later told police she had “inadvertently brushed up against him” and that he misconstrued her comments during an “emotionally charged situation.”
Her next court appearance is scheduled for March 14.
