WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- A second woman has accused U.S. Democratic Senator Al Franken of sex harassment, saying the senator put his hand on her bottom as they posed for a picture in a state fair in 2010, it was revealed on Monday.
Lindsay Menz, a 33-year-old woman who now lives in Frisco, Texas, told CNN in a program broadcast Monday that she felt "gross" at the time and immediately told her husband.
The senator, aged 66, told CNN he didn't remember taking the photo with Menz, but felt badly that she felt disrespected.
"I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don't remember taking this picture," Franken told CNN. "I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected."
Days before, Los Angeles local radio news anchor, Leeann Tweeden, claimed that Franken forcibly kissed her and groped her in 2006, when Franken was a comedian.
Franken has since issued an apology to Tweeden and faces a potential investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee.
