of multiple sexual assaults since she was a teenager was revealed to be his own sister-in-law.
Lee Chatfield’s sister in law, Rebekah Chatfield, was revealed to be the woman to accuse the former Michigan House Speaker of sexual assault.Lee, a Republican, was the youngest person to serve as Speaker of the House in Michigan in over 100 years. He left office in 2020 due to term limits. “I had a lot of family stuff going on in my life,” she told Bridge. “My dad was a recovering alcoholic, and so I believe that Lee used those against me and helped take advantage of me. So he would manipulate me, he would mess with my emotions.”
“I always had questions,” he told Bridge. “I don’t remember how I asked, I just remember saying, ‘Is something going on between you and Lee?’Lee Chatfield served as speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives from 2019 to 2021.Rebekah said Lee would find reasons to text her late at night, and enter the guest room and grope her. She said the sexual assaults when she stayed at Lee’s home became more frequent, eventually culminating in sex.
“After he finished he said, ‘Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Aaron, you guys are getting married.’” Rebekah Chatfield told Bridge. “And he walked out.” On one occasion two years ago, Rebekah said she and Aaron were visiting Lee’s office when he asked Aaron to go pick up a pizza. Lee pressured her into unwanted sex in a separate room before his brother returned, she alleged.
