A former reporter for the now-defunct local Arkansas TV station KLMN-TV has accused former President Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting her on three occasions in the 1980s. Leslie Millwee told Breitbart News that Clinton, then the governor of Arkansas, followed her into an editing room at the station's office and "came up behind me." "I was sitting in a chair," Millwee told Breitbart News. "He came up behind me and started rubbing my shoulders and running his hands down toward my breasts. And I was just stunned. I froze. I asked him to stop. He laughed."

Millwee said Clinton assaulted her "on three occasions," and that "each time it escalated." After the third alleged incident, Millwee said Clinton came knocking on her apartment door "for probably five, ten minutes. Knocking. Calling my name. Saying, 'I know you are home. Please answer the door.' I did not answer the door."
