Accuser tells her side of the story
Exclusive: Sherwood flap heats up

Maryland woman hires attorney, says cops refuse to give her copy of her 911 call. By KEVIN AMERMAN [e-mail]

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Maryland woman who told authorities U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood choked her in his Washington apartment has hired a law firm and says police have refused to give her a copy of her 911 call.

Cynthia Ore, 29, of Rockville, said she initially made the request months ago, but is pursuing it now after being encouraged by friends and family members to take legal action.

In an interview Wednesday, Ore said she believes Washington, D.C., police were more concerned about the welfare of Sherwood, a Republican from Tunkhannock, when they responded to his apartment at 1 p.m. Sept. 15.

Ore said several police officers responded to the scene and were coming into and out of the apartment. She said the officers removed Sherwood from the apartment, then took him into his bedroom, while an officer talked with her.

A Washington Metropolitan Police report states that Ore told police she locked herself in a bathroom and called 911 after Sherwood “choked her for no apparent reason” while giving her a backrub in his D Street apartment.

Sherwood, 64, told police he was giving Ore a backrub when she “jumped up” and ran to the bathroom, the report stated.

1. One more Republican Hypocrite.

They won't give her the copy of the 911 call because the King told them not to.

4. He was just trying to "stabilize" her. Like Iraq.

Other, less thoughtful, people might consider it, like the occupation of Iraq, brutality. But, they don't understand that he, congressman Sherwood, was just trying to "help".
