'I was feeling trapped': Ex-senator's former employee describes alleged sexual assaults

Don Meredith is on trial, facing three counts of sexual assault and one count of criminal harassment against a former employee from when he was a senator

Every morning at work, she alleges that Senator Don Meredith would require his “daily hug.”

Then, she said, came the unwanted fondling. She said she lived in constant fear of being called into his office or in the office kitchen area, where he would allegedly kiss her on the mouth and caress her breasts and buttocks.

He would call her by her name, she said, or he might call her “baby” or “sweetie.” She said she would get up, like a robot, and let him touch her.
