She has now filed a sexual assault complaint against Corey Lewandowski. Villa claims she was "slapped on the ass" twice by Lewandowski at a Washington gathering back in November.

She has posted a photographer of herself with Lewandowski (see below) at the gathering, which she claims was taking only moments before he hit her twice on the bottom.

She wrote: "Here’s the photo of @CLewandowski_ seconds before he slapped my ass, I told him to stop, and then he did it again. I was shocked and embarrassed by his behavior."

Asked about Lewandowski in a phone interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she said: "I didn't know him at all. I only knew him by reputation. He broke my trust."

Villa says that she's "shocked and embarrassed" by the incident.

She added: "I was initially fearful to come forward with this," she said.

Villa also said that was she reluctant to come forward at first because she did not want to bring "shame or embarrassment" on Lewandowski's family or hers.

"I did nothing wrong. I realized if he's not going to respond or apologize to me, I think it's the right thing to do," she said.

This is not the first time Lewandowski has faced police charges. He was charged with misdemeanor battery for an altercation involving a female reporter back in March 2016, but the charges were later dropped.
