GOP candidate who wanted 'taser on my dick' to stay awake faces sexual harassment lawsuit

Connecticut Republican Senate candidate August Wolf is facing a sexual harassment lawsuit over claims that he repeatedly touched a former consultant, and that he made comments that were sexist and homophobic.

Roll Call reported on Thursday that former campaign staffer Samantha Menh, who was hired to turn around Wolf's campaign against Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D), alleged that her boss made unwanted sexual advances and created a hostile work environment.

The lawsuit filed last week in Connecticut court accuses Wolf of "severe and pervasive" sexual harassment.

According to the court documents, Wolf repeatedly referred to Menh as "babe." She said Wolf told her what he did for fun: "I have sex!" And he asked her if she had "ever been sexually satisfied by a real man."

The lawsuit claims that Wolf constantly made inappropriate comments, like telling her, "When I am in the U.S. Senate, someone should put a Taser on my dick so I can stay awake."

During a car ride to a campaign event, Menh said that Wolf was groping his girlfriend and "put the girlfriend's head in his lap."

Wolf was "constantly touching the plaintiff, which she felt was creepy, and she continuously told him, 'Don't touch me,'" the lawsuit noted. Wolf was said to have referred to other office staffers as "just a bunch of gay lovers circle jerking each other."

Menh recalled that Wolf "barricaded" her in her office "with his 6'6" body and would not let her walk out of the room."

The lawsuit went on to claim that Wolf boasted about his penis size and "almost every word that came out of Wolf's mouth was intended to prove his sexuality and that he is not gay" like other members of his family.

Menh is seeking more than $2.5 million in punitive and compensatory damages.

In a statement, Wolf said that he would "vigorously defend" himself.
