A former aide to Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) has filed a lawsuit alleging the congressman created a hostile work environment and sexually harassed her.
Lauren Greene, Farenthold's former communications director, claimed in a complaint filed last week that the congressman made inappropriate, sexually related comments to her. Greene says that when she told Farenthold's executive assistant in January that she thought her boss was awkward around her, the executive assistant said Farenthold had confessed he had "sexual fantasies" and "wet dreams" about Greene.

The suit alleges Farenthold told his executive assistant that Greene could show her nipples whenever she wanted after Bob Haueter, his chief of staff, reprimanded her for wearing a shirt that was too revealing. According to the suit, Haueter was the only other person in the office who knew about the congressman's fantasies toward Greene.

Farenthold, 53, is married with two children. He was embroiled in a controversy in 2010 while campaigning for his seat when photographs appeared on the Internet showing him in duck-themed pajamas out on the town with scantily clad women.
