Republican congressional candidate Madison Cawthorn faces increased scrutiny after multiple reports of unwanted sexual behavior.
The allegations came to light following a social media post from a woman who shared her account of a date with Cawthorn six years ago. Katrina Krulikas said in the post that Cawthorn forcefully attempted to kiss her twice.
Cawthorn, 24, of Hendersonville, has denied the allegations, and a public relations consultant for his campaign questioned the timing of Krulikas’ statement.
Krulikas said her decision to share her experience of a date with Cawthorn in 2014 came after months of consideration.
“I had written the statement weeks ago,” Krulikas, who now lives in Chapel Hill and works as a nanny, said in a Aug. 19 phone call. “I talked to people close to me, my mom especially, and decided I had a moral and ethical obligation to say something.”
In her Aug. 13 Instagram post, Krulikas described a 2014 date with Cawthorn, now 25, when he was 19 and she was 17. The UNC grad writes how the two teens, both members of the same Asheville Christian home school community, met at Biltmore Village after Cawthorn reached out on social media.
The two then drove together to a “secluded field” for a bonfire. When they arrived, according to Krulikas, Cawthorn began asking about her sexual history.
“I immediately felt discomforted,” she posted.
Her account states that Cawthorn, seated in a wheelchair following an auto accident earlier that year that leaves him without the use of his legs, then invited Krulikas to sit on his lap.
“I felt pressured and unsure of how to say no,” she wrote. “So I sat on his lap.”
Krulikas describes how Cawthorn then tried to kiss her twice, attempts which she used force to resist.

What would Biden and Clinton do?
Clinton would say, “Put some ice on it.”
When you have no religion or faith to guide, bearing false witness is no big deal.
We are really stretching the definition of “sexual assault” aren’t we?
He attempted to kiss her? That’s all? Is there more to the story?
Is this where the meme that “all men are rapists” comes from?
Because if we are saying that unwanted attempted kissing is sexual assault, then most men are guilty. Even some women would be too, as some women take the lead with a partner, if you get my meaning.
Is the key fact that this guy is a Republican?
Rape ‘em
and then have goons threaten her and and her family if she ever talked about it
YOU are too weak to say no, do as he asks, and it's his fault.
These people are pathetic.
The left is nothing if not consistent. Can’t wait to see what new spurious allegations they’ll cook up against POTUS as the election nears.
USA Today is good at reprinting the dirt democrat operatives hand to them in 'news packets'... Yep, the operatives don't have to abide by fancy 'journalistic ethics'...
Kind of like knowingly buying stolen goods and pretending you're not part of the theft..
Same with the thugs at the Washington Post and New York Times.
Her account states that Cawthorn, seated in a wheelchair following an auto accident earlier that year that leaves him without the use of his legs, then invited Krulikas to sit on his lap. “I felt pressured and unsure of how to say no,” she wrote. “So I sat on his lap.”
“multiple reports of unwanted sexual behavior.”
Is he known as a mind reader?
“Women come forward to accuse Madison Cawthorn of aggressive sexual behavior”
What’s next...?
“Women come forward to accuse John Doe of possibly having lurid sexual thoughts about them”
Believe the woman!
How about “no”?
And this is news?
The opposition is insane and desperate. That makes them vulnerable... and dangerous.
She knew the first question would be, “How does a guy in a wheelchair sexually assault you?”
Well, I sat in his lap...
Good grief.
Exactly. And she's obviously bigoted against the disabled.
To say “No” place the tip of tongue on the roof of mouth just behind the front teeth, exhale while engaging vocal cords, slowed remove tongue from roof of mouth, forming an “O” shape with lips while doing so.
Six years ago, Mr. Cawthorn was 18. Gollee, he tried to kiss a girl when he was 18? I was one of the most sheltered 18-year-old girls ever, but even I managed to deal with this situation with no additional fuss, ever.
Is she a dyke? He tried to kiss her? Seriously? This is a scandal?
