The details of the latest episode were also documented in a report by the Rappahannock County Sheriff\u2019s Office that was obtained by The New York Times. A previous accuser <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/28\/us\/politics\/matt-schlapp-lawsuit-settlement.html\" title=\"\">received a $480,000 settlement<\/a> after dropping his lawsuit against Mr. Schlapp, 57, who opened Thursday\u2019s session with his usual conservative bombast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAre you glad that America is back on track?\u201d Mr. Schlapp said. \u201cHas it been a long, tedious four years? Are you ready to tell the whole world that America is ready to be America again?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Schlapp appeared onstage with his wife, Mercedes Schlapp, who was Mr. Trump\u2019s White House director of strategic communications during his first term, and has also played an outsize role at CPAC events. The next part of Thursday\u2019s program featured Ms. Schlapp moderating a discussion with Vice President JD Vance, the first headliner at the showcase, which was expected to include speeches by Mr. Trump and the president\u2019s billionaire ally, Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Schlapp has not publicly addressed the latest allegations against him. A lawyer who represented him in a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault, one that resulted in the settlement, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. Neither did CPAC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At CPAC, attendees said they had not heard about the allegations against Mr. Schlapp and were instead focused on celebrating Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI think a lot of times, you find allegations, you dig them up against people because you don\u2019t like them,\u201d said Antonio Chaves, 66, who said he was unaware of the claims against Mr. Schlapp. \u201cSo those things can be politically motivated, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the Feb. 13 report on Mr. Ali\u2019s Substack site, The Reset, seven people who were at the bar with Mr. Schlapp on the night of Feb. 8 said that they saw him standing uncomfortably close to a group of men. The sources, whose names were withheld because they said that they feared retaliation, told Mr. Ali that Mr. Schlapp had followed some of the men and stood so close to them that it allowed his body to graze theirs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The people who were interviewed said that one man\u2019s girlfriend confronted Mr. Schlapp, who was accused by the man and several witnesses of grabbing and gripping the man\u2019s genitals while looking directly in the man\u2019s eyes, before Mr. Schlapp was briefly escorted out of the bar by a manager. According to the article, Mr. Schlapp returned to the bar, which led to a heated confrontation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A two-page report from the Rappahannock County Sheriff\u2019s Office presented a similar narrative. It said that the owner of a restaurant in Sperryville, Va., had called 911 to report that an intoxicated patron had just left the establishment in a BMW after assaulting another person and grabbing their genitals. The report identified Mr. Schlapp as the driver of the BMW. It also said that the alleged victim was \u201cdeclining obtaining warrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The initial article about the episode quickly ricocheted online, drawing the attention of the man who accused Mr. Schlapp in a 2023 lawsuit of \u201caggressively fondling\u201d his \u201cgenital area in a sustained fashion\u201d while the two were alone in a car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The plaintiff in the lawsuit, Carlton Huffman, was working for the unsuccessful Senate campaign of Herschel Walker in Georgia at the time that he accused Mr. Schlapp of groping him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Less than 20 minutes after the news broke that Mr. Schlapp had been accused again of sexual misconduct, Mr. Huffman <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CarltonHuffman\/status\/1890086826809127062\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">chimed in on X<\/a>, calling it the \u201cleast surprising headline ever.\u201d And in another post, he said that if anyone needed a good lawyer, they should give his a call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Huffman, 41, who dropped his lawsuit after receiving the $480,000 settlement last year, did not deny that the posts were his when reached by phone on Thursday, but declined to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have resolved our differences,\u201d he said of Mr. Schlapp. At the time of the settlement, Mr. Huffman said his accusations against Mr. Schlapp had been the result of a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his lawsuit, Mr. Huffman said that Mr. Schlapp had invited him for a drink in Atlanta after being assigned to drive Mr. Schlapp to a campaign event in October 2022 for Mr. Walker, the former football star who is Mr. Trump\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/17\/us\/politics\/herschel-walker-bahamas-trump.html\" title=\"\">choice to be U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas<\/a>. Mr. Huffman accused Mr. Schlapp of brushing his leg against his at one of the bars they visited. And when he drove Mr. Schlapp back to Mr. Schlapp\u2019s hotel, the lawsuit said, the CPAC chairman grabbed Mr. Huffman\u2019s leg and crotch inside the car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Three people associated with Mr. Walker\u2019s campaign told The New York Times at the time the lawsuit was filed that \u2014 after Mr. Huffman reported the episode the next morning \u2014 Mr. Schlapp was barred from future campaign events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Before withdrawing his lawsuit against Mr. Schlapp, Mr. Huffman had accused CPAC officials of having knowledge of other previous accusations against the group\u2019s chairman and failing to act.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On one occasion, The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2023\/12\/16\/cpac-matt-schlapp-lawsuit-sexual-misconduct\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Post reported<\/a>, Mr. Schlapp was accused of stripping to his underwear and rubbing against another person without his consent, during a 2022 fund-raising trip to South Florida. In 2017, a CPAC employee accused Mr. Schlapp of trying to kiss him against his wishes, the newspaper reported, citing information from Mr. Huffman\u2019s lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid
