Ohio House Candidate and Ex-ICE Deputy Accused of Controlling Relationship With 19-Year-Old Staffer

The claims land days before Ohio's May 5 Republican primary.

Overview

  • The Daily Mail report Thursday cited an anonymous former staffer who said Sheahan began a secret relationship with her in 2020 when she was 19.
  • The woman said she moved into Sheahan's home after losing college housing during the pandemic and that Sheahan was at one point her supervisor on the Trump 2020 campaign.
  • She described controlling outbursts, including a phone tirade over a night-out outfit, and two colleagues told the outlet they heard the shouting through walls.
  • A senior DHS official also alleged Sheahan created a hostile workplace by targeting female staff and threatening to 'rip their faces off.'
  • Sheahan left ICE in January to run in Ohio's 9th District, where a May 5 GOP primary looms, a JL Partners poll puts her at 10% in third, and filings show more than $450,000 raised.
