Another woman has accused Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) of sexual misconduct, including inappropriate and unwanted touching during church, The Detroit News reports. In an affidavit posted to Twitter, Elisa Grubbs alleged that "Rep. Conyers slid his hand up my skirt and rubbed my thighs while I was sitting next to him in the front row of a church. I was startled and sprung to my feet and exclaimed, 'He just ran his hand up my thigh!' Other staffers witnessed this event."
Grubbs worked for Conyers between 2001 and 2013. "Witnessing Rep. Conyers rub women's thighs and buttocks and make comments about women's physical attributes was a regular part of life while working in the office of Rep. Conyers," she wrote. Grubbs also recalled a time when Conyers came out of the bathroom naked while she was visiting his home, and that he inappropriately touched her cousin, Marion Brown.
