The city declined to release information about the victim and said it would not release the full police report or comment further on the investigation, citing state public records law.<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth has not been charged in any criminal case or named as a defendant in any civil lawsuit in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Hegseth learned the woman was considering filing a lawsuit, Parlatore said in statement provided to CNN.<\/p>\n<p>Parlatore said the payment to the married woman was of \u201ca significantly reduced amount\u201d and that Hegseth, a veteran turned Fox News host, settled because it was during the \u201cMe Too\u201d movement and he didn\u2019t want to lose his job at the network if the accusation became public. The attorney\u2019s statement did not say how much Hegseth\u2019s accuser was paid in the settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Parlatore said Hegseth felt that he was the victim of blackmail.<\/p>\n<p>CNN spoke briefly with the alleged victim on Thursday.
